The year was 2012, it was Rob’s 5th year in the Old Gold & Black. After our dream season went down the drain in 2011, Robbie was back for year five. Gone were JaJuan Johnson and E’Twuan Moore.
It was his team, and his team alone now.
Robbie led our Boilermakers, through thick and thin, highs and lows, to the vaunted NCAA Tournament. Many didn’t think we’d be back, with Robbie as our only scorer and rotating between centers of, Sandi Marcius and Travis FREAKING Carroll.
But, Robbie had a Robbie year. 20 points per game, leading us to the tournament.
