TCU guard Alex Robinson, a transfer from Texas A&M, shared Big 12 newcomer of the week honors Monday with Oklahoma State forward Lindy Waters for his efforts in victories during last week’s games.
Robinson, a sophomore from Mansfield Timberview, averaged 14.5 points, 8.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game during a pair of pivotal wins for the Horned Frogs (16-7, 5-5 in Big 12) over Kansas State and Texas in men’s basketball. Robinson played all 45 minutes in the 86-80 overtime victory at Kansas State that broke the Frogs’ four-game losing streak, then added 17 points and eight assists during Saturday’s 78-63 win over Texas that allowed TCU to sweep the Longhorns in regular-season play for the first time in 30 years as fellow conference members.
