The enemy? UNLV's in-your-face 6-11 center Keon Clark.
''He's gonna have a bad game,'' said Robinson, a UH junior forward who will get some game time banging inside with Clark.
Are those fighting words from Robinson here in the boxing capital of the world?
Ding-ding-ding. It's Round Three, ladies and gentlemen, as the University of Hawaii takes on the Rebels today at the Thomas and Mack Center in a second-round game of the National Invitation Tournament.
The winner will take on the winner of the Pittsburgh at Arkansas game, also today.
A crowd of 10,000 is expected to watch the UH-UNLV rubber match.
Hawaii took the first two WAC regular-season games by a total of three points - but those victories were with 7-foot-1 center Seth Sundberg, who is out for the season with a lacerated spleen.
UH assistant coach Jeff Law, who scouts the Rainbows' opponents, does not share the same view as Mr. Robinson.
''I wish I knew how to stop him,'' Law said of Clark, who is averaging 14.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. ''He's going to get whatever he wants to get.
''So in that sense, we're not going to really concentrate on him. We'll try to neutralize him a little bit, but we want to make the other guys beat us.''
Law said that UH will play a lot of zone defense, despite the man-to-man being effective in UH's first two games against UNLV.
''They didn't shoot well in their last game (36 percent against Memphis),'' Law said. ''We have to make their perimeter game beat us.
''Plus, we have to rebound and take care of the ball. Those are the keys.''
UH guard Anthony Carter, who hit two free throws with one second left to beat UNLV by one point at the Thomas and Mack on Jan. 11, said that game doesn't mean a thing at this point of the sudden-death postseason.
''That's in the past,'' Carter said, above the din of the California Hotel casino. ''We just have to execute on offense and keep them off the boards - just play hard and keep the crowd out of the game.''
UH will start Carter (19 points and 6.5 assists per game) and Alika Smith (18 points and 3.4 assists per game) at guards.
Micah Kroeger (10.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game) and Eric Ambrozich (9 points and 5.7 rebounds) will be at forwards, with Danny Furlong (3.8 points and 3 rebounds per game) at center.
Robinson (7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game) will come in off the bench for UH, which is down to eight scholarship players.
UNLV is expected to start Tyrone Nesby (16.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game) and Warren Rosegreen (7.4 points and 8.1 rebounds) at forwards, with Tony Lane ((9.6 points and 4.6 rebounds) at center.
The guards are: Mark Dickel (5.3 points per game) and Jermaine Smith (12.2 points per game).
But watch for Clark to get in quick and stay in. He played 32 minutes against Memphis.
Clark scored 23 points and had 12 rebounds against the Tigers.
''This has turned into a good rivalry,'' said UH head coach Riley Wallace. ''But there's no bad blood or anything.
''It should be another good game like the first two were.''
