LAWRENCE, Kan. -- As his world seemed to be spinning out of control in front of him, Kansas sophomore forward Thomas Robinson longed for normalcy.
He found it Saturday night in the sport he loves. He found it with his Jayhawks teammates. He found it in the comfort of Allen Fieldhouse.
A week after learning his mother, Lisa Robinson, had died and two days after burying her, Robinson returned to his comfort zone Saturday night. It was anything but normal from the outset when 16,300 delivered a standing ovation as Robinson entered the game against Kansas State at the 16:45 mark in the first half.
The Jayhawks fans stood and applauded each time he exited to the bench and they tried as best they could to will every shot Robinson took into the basket.
Such emotion directed at one person might have been draining for most, but for Robinson it was a sign of things finally being right.
"It is beyond amazing and it was a good crowd," Robinson said. "We have great people all across Kansas. This past month has really opened my eyes to how amazing this place is.
"It's beyond words to describe how I feel and the love that I have for the University of Kansas and the fans."
