Will play for BC Horizont Minsk
BOULDER – Former women's basketball standout Alexis Robinson will continue her basketball career overseas, signing her first professional contract. Robinson heads to Belarus to join BC Horizont Minsk.
"I'm just happy for the opportunity to be able to travel and keep playing basketball," Robinson explained. "To get to make a living and play the game I love, that's probably the biggest blessing for me."
Robinson, the team's 2018-19 MVP, graduated last spring. She closed out her senior year as one of the top contributors for the Buffs. The Ashland, Ky., native shouldered a heavy load and was rewarded with All-Pac-12 honorable mention honors. Robinson averaged 12.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in her final year at CU. She led the team in Pac-12 play, averaging 14.4 points per game. 11 of her 17 double-figure scoring games came against conference opponents, including her career-high 33-point performance against UCLA.
Robinson became the latest Buff to join the 1,000-point club in 2018-19. She closed her career 18th on the all-time scoring list with 1,285 points. Robinson averaged 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in her four years at CU. She is seventh in program history with 186 career 3FGM and 13th in both games started (105) and minutes played (3,275).
BC Horizont Minsk is currently in the middle of its season. Robinson will join the team on Dec. 20.
