{LAWRENCE, Kan.} — It seems like his knee wasn't bothering him too much. Thomas Robinson put up 22 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks Tuesday night as the Jayhawks pounded Fort Hays State 101-52. Robinson hyperextended his knee earlier this season during practices but was moving up and down the court just fine in KU's final exhibition game.
With Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson both on the bench for violating team rules Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe made a name for himself scoring 19 for Bill Self in 29 minutes on the floor.
Fort Hays was led by Lance Russell with 11 points while Markus Yardbrough and K.C. Rodenburg each added 10 points.
Kansas is home this Friday night to open the regular season against Towson
