Just when the “Wanted” posters were about to go up on campus, UConn Huskies men’s basketball small forward Stanley “Sticks” Robinson decided that he was going to play some basketball, some really good basketball.
Robinson had by far the best game of his abbreviated season yesterday as he had 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots. You could see the expression on his face that the game was fun again where as before you could tell he was going through the motions. Jim Calhoun had said earlier in the week, he may go to a 3-guard set against the Friars because of matchups but with the way Robinson played he didn’t have to do that.
The key now is for Robinson to build upon his game yesterday. They are going to need him tomorrow night because Louisville isn’t going to roll over and play dead for the Huskies.
