All-American Thomas Robinson had a game-high 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead No. 10 Kansas to a 81-46 win at Texas Tech on Wednesday.
The Jayhawks (13-3, 3-0 Big 12) used a 16-2 run to end the first half and break open a close game. The big turnaround occurred when the Jayhawks got 11 points as a result of a technical foul on Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie and a pair of flagrant fouls on Terran Petteway, who was ejected from the game.
Robinson made 8 of 11 from the field and notched his 11th double-double of the season. Tyshawn Taylor had 15 points and five assists and Travis Releford scored 12 for Kansas, which improved its winning streak to six games.
Texas Tech (7-8, 0-3) was led by reserve Javarez Willis with 12 points.
Kansas now leads the all-time series 14-4 and has won the last four meetings.
