He finished with 24 points on 6-13 shooting. He then took over against then-second place Saint Peter’s, scoring 29 points, 26 coming after the half in an overtime victory. During a stretch in the second half with the Hawk down eight, Robinson netted 14 consecutive Monmouth points to get MU over the hump to tie a program record with their ninth straight win.

Peter Kiss, Quinnipiac
Fr., 6-5, G, New York, NY/Notre Dame (MA)
