Robinson '83 to Join ESPN as College Basketball Analyst
October 07, 2014 | Men's Basketball
Princeton alumnus Craig Robinson '83 will join ESPN as an analyst on game broadcasts and in studio, the network announced.
Robinson was a two-time Ivy League Player of the Year during his Princeton career, graduating as the third-leading scorer in program history with 1,441 points and graduating second in career field goals made with 534.
Robinson helped Princeton to three Ivy League titles, two Ivy League playoff games and two NCAA Tournaments. In the 1983 NCAA Tournament, Robinson and the Tigers, as a No. 12 seed, knocked off fifth-seeded Oklahoma State in a first-round game at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Oregon, where Robinson would later coach host Oregon State.
In 2000, when then-Princeton head coach Bill Carmody took over the program at Northwestern University, Robinson and current Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson '98 were on his first staff. In 2006, Robinson returned to the Ivy League as head coach at Brown University, where he remained for two seasons until taking over the program at Oregon State University for the last six seasons.
ESPN announced Robinson will work as an analyst on ESPNU telecasts as well as serving as an in-studio analyst. ESPN's complete announcement of Robinson's hiring can be found here.
