He followed that performance with 28 boards and 12 rebounds as KU defeated No. 3 Missouri, 87-86 in overtime. Against the Tigers, he had 18 points in the second half and overtime, including a 3-point play with 16 seconds remaining to tie the game. He also blocked MU's shot at the end of regulation to guarantee the extra session. He averaged 19.0 points and 12.5 rebounds for the week, shooting 41.9 percent from the field and 85.7 percent from the line. The four player honors for Robinson in 2011-12 is tied for the third-most in a season in Big 12 history.
