Alex Robinson had to get out. He needed to go home.
The TCU guard was finishing up his freshman year at Texas A&M. He had a boot on his right foot after surgery to fix a fracture he played with for much of the season.
And then a night out with friends in May 2015 near College Station turned tragic.
Four friends, all Texas A&M students, including driver Alexis Emmou, were in a car ahead of the one Robinson was driving. They were leaving a party on the night of the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight and headed to the Northgate district near campus.
