Former Kansas basketball guard Ryan Robertson, his wife Andrea — a former Missouri soccer player — and their three children are all Jayhawk fans. However, they scheduled previous activities for this weekend and thus will be unable to attend Sunday’s Kansas-Missouri exhibition basketball game at the Sprint Center.
“My kids are such KU nuts now. My guess is they’ll get 40 bucks out of my household (for pay-per-view telecast) one way or another,” 1999 KU graduate Robertson said in a phone conversation from St. Charles, Mo., where he lives and also works for Goldman Sachs.
Robertson — he went 1-3 versus the Tigers in Columbia, 3-1 at Allen Fieldhouse and 1-0 in Kansas City, for a career record of 5-4 versus the Tigers — is happy to contribute his $40 to hurricane relief while getting to see his alma mater play basketball 15 practices into the season.
