Kevin Love had a fine start to his career at UCLA, getting 22 points and 13 rebounds in the second-ranked Bruins' 69-48 victory over Portland State.

Michael Beasley burst on to the college scene unlike many ever have before, finishing with 32 points and a Big 12 Conference-record 24 rebounds in No. 25 Kansas State's 94-63 victory over Sacramento State.

"As far as (Beasley) jumping into the record books, I figured it was going to happen pretty soon," Wildcats guard Blake 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."

The conference record for rebounds in a game was 23 set by Nick Collison of Kansas against Texas on Jan. 27, 2003, and matched by one of last season's star freshmen, Kevin Durant of Texas against Texas Tech on Jan. 31.

Durant's and Beasley's names are going to be said a lot together this season.

"I'm not into comparing people," said Kansas State's Frank Martin, who made his debut as a college head coach. "I think everyone's an individual, but the obvious comparison is with Kevin Durant because Kevin Durant was such a great player. If Kevin Durant was a freshman this year and Mike was a freshman last year, everybody would be trying to figure out if Kevin Durant can play up to Michael Beasley's standards.

"Mike's a heck of a player."

It was the second 30-point, 20-rebound game in Kansas State history. Bob Boozer had 36 points and 23 rebounds in 1957.

"He's a pro," Sacramento State coach Jerome Jenkins said of Beasley. "They'll be lucky to have him after this year. That's all I can say about him."
