Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski paid Justin Robinson such a big compliment, he thinks it should be on the big screen.
The senior forward set or matched career highs in every category except steals in Duke’s 89-76 win over North Carolina on Saturday. The performance earned Robinson, a former walk-on and son of Hall of Famer David Robinson, a comparison to Notre Dame’s Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger.
Robinson played 25 minutes against UNC and was 4 of 6 from 3-point range and scored 13 points. He also had six rebounds and four blocked shots.
"It's better than 'Rudy,'" Krzyzewski said, comparing Robinson's performance to the legendary story of Notre Dame football walk-on Rudy Ruettiger.
