Michael Beasley put on a show Sunday—dropping 30 points, grabbing nine boards, and reminding everyone why he’s one of the most dominant players to ever wear a Kansas State jersey.

The former Wildcat All-American led Miami 305 to a gritty 51–49 win over DMV Trilogy in Big3 action, flashing the same inside-out arsenal that once lit up the Octagon of Doom.

Beasley knocked down 10 shots from the field, including two three-pointers, and added a steal and an assist while running with fellow pros Lance Stephenson, Mario Chalmers, and Reggie Evans.

At 36, the game still flows through him—midrange jumpers, low-post footwork, smooth confidence.

Beasley’s résumé speaks for itself: 11 seasons in the NBA, the No. 2 pick in the 2008 draft, and averages of 12.4 points and 4.7 rebounds across stops with six teams.

But his legacy started at K-State.

As a freshman in 2007–08, Beasley averaged 26.2 points (3rd nationally) and a nation-best 12.4 rebounds per game.

He was named Big 12 Player of the Year and a consensus First-Team All-American. His 28 double-doubles broke the NCAA freshman record, previously held by Carmelo Anthony. He also ranks top-three all-time in freshman points (866) and rebounds (408).

With Sunday’s win, Miami 305 improves to 3–1 and sits tied for first in the Big3 standings. DMV Trilogy drops to 0–4.

Back in Manhattan, K-State men’s basketball is in rebuild mode heading into the 2025–26 season, with head coach Jerome Tang reloading after missing the NCAA Tournament for a second straight year.

The Wildcats return just three scholarship players—David Castillo, Mobi Ikegwuruka, and Taj Manning—but made major moves in the transfer portal.

New faces include MAC Player of the Year Nate Johnson (Akron), Bowling Green scorer Marcus Johnson (16.2 PPG), and Memphis standout PJ Haggerty, a second-team All-American.

UNC Wilmington guard Khamari McGriff, Omaha wing Abdi Bashir, international recruits Elias Rapieque and Andrej Kostic, and 6-foot-11 JUCO big Stephen Osei round out a deep incoming group.

K-State finished 16–17 overall and 9–11 in Big 12 play last season. But if Beasley’s still out here dropping 30, maybe the next Wildcat breakout isn’t far behind.
