Kansas holds off Georgetown.

Late Monday night in Maui, a young and underrated Georgetown Hoyas team gave the no. 14 Kansas Jayhawks a run for their money, but Kanssas grinded out a 67-63 victory.

Thomas Robinson
Throughout the game Kansas played inside out against the Georgetown zone. They penetrated the zone and kicked to Thomas Robinson for 5 of his dunks and then crisply spreader the ball around the perimeter, knocking down jumpers on the perimeter.

The Hoyas simply had no answer for the 6'9 240 power forward Thomas Robinson, who scored 20 points on 7-14 shooting with 12 rebounds and two blocks. Five of his baskets came on dunks, as none of the Hoyas big men had the strength to wrestle with Robinson in the low post or the athleticism to challenge him at the rim.
Jason Clark




Georgetown kept themselves in the game by bombing away from the perimeter, shooting 7-24 from beyond the arc. Hollis Thompson and Jason Clark combined for 29 points while hoisting up 12 three-point shots, with Clark going 1-3 in the final minute as the Jayhawks held off a furious Hoya rally. Jason Clark had 15 points and 5 rebounds.
