Setting tone defensively Johnson had 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and five steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 106-76 victory over South Dakota.

Impact Johnson tallied 15 points, four helpers and three boards while continuing to stand out on the defensive end, recording five more thefts to give him a total of 14 over his past three games. The 15-point effort represented the most he's scored since a 20-point performance in mid-November but it's his recent work on the defensive end that's proving to be highly valuable for the Wildcats as well as fantasy managers. The senior guard has been a solid addition for Kansas State after spending his first three years at Akron, averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 boards, 3.9 assists and 2.3 steals across 30.5 minutes per contest.
