2012 NCAA Tournament, North Carolina Vs. Kansas: Thomas Robinson Anchoring Jayhawks

Few college basketball players have had better seasons than Kansas forward Thomas Robinson. And the Jayhawks' star is doing work against North Carolina in the Elite Eight, helping stake KU to a 40-33 lead at the under-four timeout in the first half.

Robinson’s 6-of-10 from the floor for 14 points, and has been a force underneath and a terror as a driver. One left-handed double-clutch finish, in particular, was a thing of beauty.

North Carolina countered with red-hot shooting, but has cooled slightly after the Jayhawks called off pressure that Stilman White was masterfully handling.
