Floyd on Defense

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 while Bill Walker gets covered by another defender (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.
