The win was extra special for Robinson, whose father, Glenn Robinson, Jr., was the 1994 Naismith national player of the year at Purdue.
Next, Robinson tallied 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting and collected seven rebounds in a hard-fought road victory at Illinois, 74-60.

The Wolverines have dominated the weekly award thus far.
The conference has given out 12 Big Ten Freshman Of The Week awards this season - Michigan has won fully half of them, with six.
