Key Plays: KU v. Texas A&M;

Sophomore guard Russell Robinson hit a three-point shot with 15:08 left in the second half, which capped a 16-0 run. Robinson had seven points during that run. It marked the second time in the last two games that Kansas went on a 16-0 run. During the Nebraska game last Saturday, Robinson scored eight points in the Kansas 16-0 run.

After Robinson’s three-point shot, Texas A&M; went on an 8-0 run. Josh Carter and Dominique Kirk hit back-to-back three-pointers to start the run followed by two free throws. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers hit a layup to end the comeback with 12:56 to play in the game and stretched Kansas’ lead back to eight.

After a pair of Joseph Jones free throws shrunk the Kansas lead to four, Robinson and Chalmers scored eight unanswered points. Two Chalmers free throws made the score 62-50 with 7:51 to play.

Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson hit his second of two free throws with 0:53 to play in the game. That would start a streak of seven consecutive KU free throws to put the game out of reach.
