Robisch, a Springfield, Ill. junior, hit 28 points to lead KU and game scoring. The All-America candidate finished the season with 689 points, third best in KU history and fourth best in Big Eight history.
Robisch also finished the season with 314 rebounds to become the fourth in Jayhawk history to record more than 300 rebounds in one season.
Lawrence assisted the KU cause with 16 points.
The Wildcats were lead by Webb and Venable with 19 and 18 points respectively.
For the second time in two weeks crowd behavior was less than admirable as flying objects
thrown to the floor repeatedly interrupted the game.
The peak came when K-State called time out with 12:59 left in the first half only to have its huddle hit with an egg.
Upon Owens being notified in the KU huddle of the incident, the disgusted Jayhawk mentor went to the scorer's table and told the crowd over the public address system to stop throwing things so the teams could determine which was best.
KU did just that.
The Hawks finished the season with a 17-9 overall record and an 8-6 conference mark, good enough for a second place. K-State ended 19-7 and 10-4.
