Robinson (West Haven, Conn./Kolbe Cathedral HS) averaged a tournament-high 20.0 points and 12.3 rebound per game as Long Beach State beat UCLA for the first time in school history, while also losing to No. 8 West Virginia and No. 19 Clemson. Robinson also led the tournament field in field goal attempts (12.7 per game), field goals made (7.7 per game), free throws made (3.7 per game), defensive rebounds (8.7 per game) and minutes (35.7 per game), while also ranking second in offensive rebounds (3.7 per game) and free throw attempts (8.3 per game).

Robinson put together back-to-back double-doubles on the second and third days of the tournament. Against Clemson, he finished with career highs in points (25) and rebounds (15), while making 9-of-13 shots. In the win over UCLA, Robinson matched his career high with 25 points, while grabbing 13 rebounds. He made 10-of-19 shots in the win. Robinson just missed three double-doubles in the tournament, finishing with 10 points (4-of-6 shooting) and nine rebounds in the opener against West Virginia.

Robinson's player of the week honor was the second in three weeks for a Long Beach State player. Sophomore Larry Anderson won his first player of the week honor after The Beach beat Alaska Anchorage in the 49ers' season opener. Robinson's first career player of the week honor came as a freshman during Big West Conference play.
