Thomas Robinson tops Keegans against Texas Tech

By Staff     Jan 12, 2012

**1. Thomas Robinson:** Played just 19 minutes, which was long enough to bury a deep three-pointer, deliver a lob pass and produce 19 points and 12 rebounds.

**2. Travis Releford:** Scored 11 of his 12 points in the first half and always seemed to come up with a bucket when his team struggled to score.

**3. Tyshawn Taylor:** Had little trouble blowing by the Texas Tech guards but then made it tougher on himself by adding a few dipsy-doodle moves that increased the degree of difficulty on the shots and decreased the chances of getting two points. Scored 15 points and had five assists and four turnovers.

**4. Kevin Young:** The guy can rebound. Had seven points, seven boards, an assist and a blocked shot in 21 minutes.

**5. Jeff Withey:** Had seven points, three rebounds and two blocked shots.

**6. Naadir Tharpe:** Broke from his shooting slump in a big way, hitting all three three-point attempts. Also mixed in two assists and a turnover in seven minutes in an impressive performance.

**7. Elijah Johnson:** Is 10 for 39 on three-point shots in the past six games, a .256 accuracy rate. Might his left hand be too much a part of the shot, instead of just stabilizing the basketball?

**8. Justin Wesley:** Battled for two boards, blocked a shot, played strong defense and, of course, got whistled for three fouls in 13 minutes.

**9. Conner Teahan:** Drove right, got into the lane, and threw the worst pass of his career — with the possible exception of some he might have thrown when he tried out for the football team — to a defender to the left of him. Quickly atoned by hitting one of his two threes on the night.

**10. Merv Lindsay:** Picked up a bucket under the hoop.
