machine never had the chance to
put up the final shot for the Bears.
“We were just going to let the
clock run down and try for one last
shot,” said Johnson after the game.
“The play was to get me the ball and
go with it.
“I was going to act like I wasn’t
going to even get the ball and try to
get my man off balance. 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.) But we have to keep
winning from now on in. And we
especially have to win the close
