There’s been a lot of discussion this season about the triangle and two defense, which you’ll likely see employed today when USC takes on Kansas State. Expect to see one defender (Taj Gibson, primarily) used to take on Michael Beasley will Bill Walker gets contained by another (here’s hoping that duty falls to O.J. Mayo for a matchup involving a lot of personal history). The remaining three defenders form a triangle zone.

USC coach Tim Floyd has also tried some other techniques (most famously frustrating Stanford with a press) and he reflected a little on defensive experience and philosophies this week with reporters.
