How Keyontae Johnson and Markquis Nowell found stardom together as K-State teammates Keyontae Johnson and Markquis Nowell have made the most of their lone season together with the Kansas State Wildcats.
Solid production in tough loss Johnson accumulated 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 80-67 loss to TCU.
Impact Johnson and the Wildcats were unable to overcome this nearly full-health TCU squad, even though Horned Frogs starting center Eddie Lampkin stepped away from the team due to personal reasons. While Johnson saw his usual number of field-goal attempts (12.6), he failed to get to the free-throw line for the fourth game in a row. Instead, he fouled out himself for the first time in his 32 starts this season. Johnson has been one of the nation's most efficient shooters from the floor overall (51.9 percent) as well as beyond the three-point arc (41.9). He also averaged 7.0 rebounds to go along with his 17.0 points per game. Expect Johnson to be one of the hottest fantasy commodities in DFS lineups heading into this year's NCAA Tournament.

Prolific in massive win Johnson had 25 points (11-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and four assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 75-65 victory over Baylor.
Impact Johnson lived up to his status as one of the Big 12's top players with a game-high 25 points. The Florida transfer has now put up eight 20-point performances this season, though this was just his second time doing so over the last ten games. Johnson is averaging 15.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists over this span despite playing along extremely high-usage point guard Markquis Nowell.

Markquis Nowell hit a 3-pointer from near midcourt with 2:42 remaining to help boost No. 12 Kansas State to a 61-55 win over No. 19 Iowa StateFEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Relatively moderate production Johnson totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 79-65 loss to Oklahoma.
Impact Johnson finished with a slightly below-average outing by his standards this season, logging fewer than five boards for the fifth time this season while also scoring below his season average for the fourth game in a row. The 6-foot-6 senior has been one of the Big 12's best fantasy players this season with 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. However, he's now averaged just 13.3 points and 5.5 boards across the last four contests. Johnson will look to regain his massively productive form during Saturday's home game against a defensive-minded Iowa State squad.

Tallies another double-double Johnson logged 22 points (7-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and 12 rebounds in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 90-78 loss to Kansas.
Impact Johnson remained red hot on offense despite this frustrating performance for the Wildcats. The 6-foot-6 senior also matched his season high for rebounds -- all of which came on the defensive glass. Therefore, he was able to string together his fourth consecutive double-double, and he now has six such outings this season. Johnson will look to continue this prolific stretch Saturday against Texas.
