Beasley began his freshman year at Kansas State in the fall of 2007. In the 2007-2008 regular season, Beasley was one of the most dominant players in the country, averaging 26.5 points (third-ranked nationally) and 12.5 rebounds per game (top-ranked nationally). He broke the freshman double-double record previously held by Carmelo Anthony. Anthony had 22 double-doubles in his only season at Syracuse in 2002-03. Beasley finished the 2007-08 season with 28 double-doubles. On Feb. 23, 2008, Beasley scored a career-high 44 points in a 86-92 loss at Baylor. His 44 points also broke the Big 12 single-game scoring record.Beasley became known as an unstoppable force when shooting, finishing the season shooting 53.7 percent from the field (282 of 525). He also finished the season shooting 39.5 percent from 3-point range.
Beasley holds 27 Kansas State career, single-season and freshman records as well as 13 Big 12 Conference single-game and single-season marks. With his 33-point, 14-rebound effort against Colorado on March 4, he eclipsed Mitch Richmond’s (768; 1987-8
school single-season points record, while he broke the Big 12 record for double-doubles in a season with his 26th on the year. He is just the 27th player in NCAA Division I history to post 26 or more double-doubles in a season and the first since Utah’s Andrew Bogut (26) did it in 2004-05.
Beasley guided the Wildcats to a 20-10 record and a 10-6 Big 12 Conference record. Some of they key conference victories were a win at Oklahoma and, a home victory against Texas A&M, and a victory against then-unbeaten #2 Kansas, marking the first time in over four years that Kansas State has defeated a Top 10 team at home. (Kansas State beat #10 Texas, 58-48 on March 6, 2004.) The win partially backed up a boast he had made before the season about K-State's prospects against the Jayhawks:
“ We're going to beat Kansas at home. We're going to beat them in their house. We're going to beat them in Africa. Wherever we play, we're going to beat them. ”
On March 1, 2008, his boast did not come completely true, as Kansas won the return match in Lawrence, 88-74 despite 39 points and 11 rebounds from Beasley. He became just the second player in school history to score 30 or more points in three consecutive games.
On March 4, 2008, in a win over Colorado, his fourth straight 30-point game allowed him to break Mitch Richmond’s 20-year-old school record for points in a season (76
. He set another Big 12 record by breaking former Kansas player Drew Gooden’s record for most double-doubles in a season.
-I personally love to see Beasley suit up for the Bulls so that he can have a team to lead on his own right away in the NBA in his rookie season pretty much like Bron, Melo and KD... Plus, I think the Bulls needs him more than they need Rose...
Picking him over Rose would be a no-brainer for the Bulls since they got too many guards in Gordon, Hinrich, Duhon and Hughes... Gooden and Beasley in the frontcourt for Chicago would be SWEEeeeTTttt!!! ^^
Believe me, "BEASTley" would be sick to watch in the league! Plus his cocky "thug-like" attitude appeals to me even more... Search lang sa youTube...^^
