KU's Robinson, Taylor ready for any challenge
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A diss is still a diss.
Sure enough, Thomas Robinson slid below pretty much every credible projection. A few hours later, so did Tyshawn Taylor. New league, same old story.
"I know what drives them both," Kansas coach Bill Self observed late Thursday night, just before the NBA put a bow on its 2012 draft. "It drives them nuts to think that somebody...

Robinson: I should be No. 1 over Davis
Thomas Robinson feels that he should be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft over Anthony Davis because his stats are better and "numbers don't lie."
‘A Major Step Up’? Why The Wiz Should Want Thomas Robinson
Here to encourage the Wizards to draft Thomas Robinson (pictured) is Kansas blog Rock Chalk Talk’s Steve Fetch.
After Anthony Davis, the next three NBA draft prospects are no doubt Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Bradley Beal and the man who would be the right choice for the Wizards, Thomas Robinson. All three of those players have warts, but Robinson has the fewest of them, and he’s...
Mizzou to face new Border War foe Arkansas
ST. LOUIS A new Border War is born. Oh sure, it will take time to gain closure from the loss of Kansas-Missouri. It will take time to move on from a century-old spat that gave fans on both sides of the state line bold characters (Don Fambrough), classic memories (Armageddon at Arrowhead in 2007; Thomas Robinson's block of Phil Pressey last February) and a desire to see it all...

NEW ORLEANS -- A national championship game showcasing the top two players in the country is uncommon territory. Not since 2001 have the John R. Wooden Award winner and runner-up played in the title game, and that year, Duke's Shane Battier and Jay Williams were on the same team.
