Michael Beasley, the Kansas State Wildcats‘ (by now you all know that the Best Bros are big ‘Cat backers) soon-to-be superstar freshman power foward, started breaking Big 12 records tonight — in his debut game. I don’t care what team it was against, this is ridiculous…
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State guard Blake Young figured teammate Michael Beasley would break some records during his time with the Wildcats.
He just didn’t know it would happen in his first game.
Beasley had 32 points and a Big 12 Conference-record 24 rebounds in his debut at Kansas State, leading the 25th-ranked Wildcats to a 94-63 victory over Sacramento State on Friday night.
“As far as [Beasley] jumping into the record books, I figured it was going to happen pretty soon,” Young said. “Mike is excellent on rebounding. That’s what he does. He’s out there just snatching up everything that comes off the rim.”
Beasley, the most highly touted recruit in school history and rated the nation’s No. 1 incoming freshman by Rivals.com, broke the Big 12 mark of 23 rebounds set by Kevin Durant, who starred at Texas as a freshman last season, and Kansas’ Nick Collison.
It was the second 30-point, 20-rebound game in Kansas State history. Bob Boozer had 36 points and 23 rebounds in 1957…
Get ready, Beakers. It’s on now. Especially when Hoskins and Walker really return to form from their knee surgeries. As for Beasley, he could be this year’s Durant-Oden guy. Seriously, keep an eye on the kid. He’s that special.

Beasley is a stud. But KU will win at Allen Fieldhouse West. AGAIN. Just like always. Last year was supposed to be your year too! What happens when Beasley and Walker go pro after this year? KSUck will be in trouble with Frank Martin. But hey, GO CHIEFS! At least we can all agree on that.
My man. I think it's quite possible that KU could beat the Cats both times during the regular season. I would not want to play us in the Big 12 or NCAA tourneys, though. Beasley-Hoskins-Walker-Young will be tough to stop at that point. And, honestly, I think we'll get another year out of both guys, especially Walker.
But that's right — Go Chiefs!
Well its also official that KSU football has sunk. How do you give up that many points to Nebraska?
