Robinson can play, start not likely

Junior guard Russell Robinson will be able to play a portion of tonight’s game against Oklahoma, but probably will not start.

Robinson practiced with the team Sunday for the first time since spraining the bottom of his foot, and coach Bill Self said he has been progressing well in his recovery. Self added that Robinson could have played Saturday if it was absolutely necessary.

The game tips off at 8 p.m. and will be televised as part of ESPN’s Big Monday. Oklahoma (15-12, 6-8 Big 12) lost to Texas on Saturday afternoon and is not in contention for an NCAA tournament bid.

For complete pregame coverage, see Game Day on page 8B.
