Robinson and Tut lead Garden City past Seward County

Liberal, KS-This was a badly needed win for Rusty Elmore's team. 

Brody Robinson scored 24 points, Thomas Tut posted a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Garden City topped Seward County, 81-71 Saturday afternoon at the Green House. The win snapped a season-high three-game losing streak, bumping the Broncbusters to 16-10 overall and 12-8 in league play. 

Braxton Jones scored 14, and Jordan Frazier added 12 for Garden City, which handed the Saints their seventh straight loss. Charles Chukwu recorded eight points and nine boards in 25 minutes. 

After trailing by two early, Robinson maneuvered away from a double team in front of the Seward County bench before drifting to the left corner and sticking a step back 3-pointer to give the Broncbusters a 14-12 advantage.  

A few minutes later, Robinson connected on another long ball, this time from the right sideline to stretch the lead to five. They were up by five at the break. 

Robinson opened the second half with a 25-foot bomb from straight away, Tut spun around Lovasoa Andriatsarafara for a layup, and Garden City had its first double-digit lead of the afternoon. 

The Saints got within six with four minutes to go before Jones hit a tough floater over the outstretched arms of Andriatsarafara and Tut twisted inside for an off-balance layup to stretch the lead back to nine. 

Jordan Frazier finished with 12 points for Garden City. 

Mathias M'Madi tallied with 24 points and eight rebounds for Seward County, which fell to 6-19 overall and 4-15 in the Jayhawk.
