So I just got off the phone with Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton. My story in tomorrow’s Eagle is going to be about OSU forward Marcus Dove and his attempts to slow Michael Beasley. I got the impression from Sutton that a) Dove will be the primary defender on Beasley, and b) the coach doesn’t seem that concerned about it.
I find that fascinating. I remember telling Mike that Oklahoma was contemplating throwing only Longar Longar at him, and his eyes lit up in anticipation. Dove is a better defender than Longar, but still…
So here’s the fun part - how many points does Mike go for tomorrow? But that’s not all. I want to know how many points Mike scores - and how many fouls for Dove. The winner receives another prize from “my desk.” Zac won the last contest, and his prize is a glossy blown-up print (above) by the Eagle’s Travis Heying of Mike standing on the scorer’s table with his arms stretched towards the sky.
The winner of this one gets something similar.

Mike gets 29 and Dove ends up with as many fouls as Russel Robinson had.
Beasley goes for 27 points and Dove ends up with only 3 fouls.
Beasley with 31. Dove gets 4 fouls.
Beasley scores 33 & Dove w/4 fouls

Mike has 28. Dove fouls out.
25 for Mike & 4 fouls for Dove
Interesting…
My take:
Mike gets 32 points
Dove gets 4 fouls
A better question might be “How many times will Marcus Dove ‘accidentally’ step on Beasley’s toe?” At any rate, I’m going with 29 points for B-EZ and 4 fouls for Dove. I’m feeling a big game for Bill Walker.
Mike scores 28. Dove end with 3 fouls
30 and 4
Mike has no trouble, and puts up 31 points.
Dove, 4 fouls.
Michael 31 points and Dove will foul out!
34 & 4
Mike gets 27 points and Dove has four fouls.
26 pts. 13 boards…….Dove- 4 fouls
BEAZY goes for 42
Dove fouls out
Mike goes for 24 points and Dove has 4 fouls. I believe Mike will be limited with his injury to his toe. I also think it is hillarious that I think he will be limited and still score 24.
Beasley 44 pts
Dove 4 Fouls
Mike Gets 27 points 12 boards and Dove gets 4 fouls
27 pts, Dove gets 4 fouls, but doesn’t play a majority of the first half from picking up an early 2.
Sutton realizes his strategy is rediculous. They ultimately double team Mike which will help Dove stay out of foul trouble. Mike’s scoring average continues it’s upwards trend.
37 & 3
28 for Mike
4 fouls for Dove
27 and 3
I think Jake, Bill, and Clent (if he plays) will have big games. Mike will limit himself to 19 points, but Dove will have 4 fouls.

After talking to Sutton, does he know that he’s in way over his head as a coach?
Mike goes for 29. Dove fouls out with 3 to play.

it’ll be a moot point, because there’s no way they say in single coverage on him
