If I did get the pass, I was going to try and drive to the basket and hope to draw two or three men to me and then pass off for an easy lay up. But I never got the chance.” Being a first year transfer student from Brooklyn, New York, this was Johnson’s first visit to G. Rollie White Coliseum. But the Baylor guard was prepared. “I had a lot of people tell me what it was like to play down here,” said Johnson. “But it’s just like playing in front of some of the crowds back home. People in the stands are al ways yelling things at you and trying to get you off your game. But I felt ready down here.” The Bears have a little time off to try and pick up the pieces after last night’s loss. Baylor has an open date Wednesday and will return to action at Tech Saturday night. But Baylor will be interested in the A&M-SMU game tomorrow night. The three teams are all vying for fifth place in the conference race and the important home court ad vantage in the opening round of the post-season tournament. “I feel as if we re in a great posi tion for a fifth place finish,” said coach Haller after last night’s game. “Only because we have a great home schedule (Baylor plays Hous ton, SMU, Texas and Rice at home while traveling to Tech, Arkansas and TCU.)
