Fouls out of Elite Eight loss Johnson tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 18 minutes before fouling out in Saturday's 79-76 loss to Florida Atlantic.
Impact Johnson was limited to season lows in points and playing time Saturday after he got into foul trouble early in the first half. As a result, the Wildcats were without their leading scorer for much of this contest, including the final two minutes and 45 seconds following his fifth foul. After being sidelined for almost two whole seasons to end his tenure with Florida, Johnson resurrected his collegiate career in his first season with Kansas State, averaging 17.5 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 51.6 percent from the field across 36 starts in 2022-23. The fifth-year senior is now expected to forego any remaining collegiate eligibility to begin his pro career.

Markquis Nowell scored 23 of his 27 points after halftime, helping Kansas State beat Kentucky 75-69 in the second round of the NCAA TournamentMARCH 19, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Plays second fiddle in win Johnson amassed 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 75-69 victory over Kentucky.
Impact Johnson didn't notch a very productive outing in this hard-fought win for the Wildcats. However, he still provided some important contributions to help supplement point guard Markquis Nowell's star performance (27/2/9/0/3). Johnson has been Kansas State's best and most consistent scorer this season, averaging 17.7 points while shooting 51.9 percent from the field leading into Sunday's contest. He's also added 7.1 rebounds per game, so he'll look to notch a much more productive outing versus Michigan State in the Sweet 16.
