No. 5 Kansas Too Much for Texas Tech
March 3, 2008 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Russell Robinson's 15 points led No. 5 Kansas in a 109-51 win over Texas Tech (16-13, 7-8 Big 12) on Monday night. For Kansas (27-3, 12-3), it was the biggest win in a conference game in that program's storied history. All but one of the 16 players in uniform for Kansas (27-3, 12-3) scored as coach Bill Self hustled every available player onto the court in the final 6 minutes. The victory gave Kansas a 20-0 record at home, the 14th time the Jayhawks have been unbeaten in tradition-soaked 53-year-old Allen Fieldhouse. Six Jayhawks scored in double figures. Martin Zeno had 19 points for Texas Tech and John Roberson added 15. The Jayhawks, who pride themselves on being one of the most balanced teams in the country, had 51 points in the first half. They got off to a ragged start, with Brandon Rush throwing up two straight air balls on 3-point attempts, but finally found their rhythm and went on a 10-0 run, capped by Aldrich's basket that made it 30-26. After Roberson hit two uncontested 3-pointers over an uncharacteristic Kansas zone, the Jayhawks called time out and then unleashed a 17-2 run and went into halftime with a 51-26 lead. Sherron Collins had 13 points in the win for Kansas, while Mario Chalmers and Aldrich both had 11 and Jackson and Sasha Kaun had 10 each. The five seniors - Case, Jackson, Kaun, Robinson and Stewart - are 108-23 and going for their fourth straight Big 12 championship.
