KU’s five scorers in double figures would have been the most in a game since it had six in double-digits against Texas at last year’s Big 12 tournament.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES:

Junior F Thomas Robinson scored 22 points, which marked the third-straight exhibition game that KU had a player score 20-plus points.
Robinson’s 22 points would have been a career high. The junior forward also recorded 12 rebounds, which would have been the third highest of his career.
Robinson’s double-double would have been the sixth of his career.
Robinson also would have set career highs in assists (five), field goals (nine), field goal attempts (19) and matched his career high in blocked shots (four).
Freshman G Naadir Tharpe scored 19 points, which bested his first-game total of 12.
During the two exhibition games, Tharpe recorded 15 assists.
Senior G Conner Teahan was 5-for-5 from the field, which would have been his best career field goal percentage.
Teahan was 13-for-16 (81.2 percent) from the field and 7-for-10 (70 percent) from beyond the three-point arc in KU’s two exhibition games.
Sophomore Justin Wesley scored 12 points, which would have been a career high. His career best at Lamar was eight points in a game.
