I have just witnessed quite a performance, and it came on the biggest stage the Big Sky Conference has– their championship game, which determines the team that will go to the NCAA basketball tourney.
In that game, Montana trailed Weber State 40-20 at the half. They looked out-classed and defeated a few minutes in. But Montana’s guard Anthony Johnson was not willing to go gentle into that good night. Having already put up 8 of his team’s 20 first half points (that’s 40%), Johnson scored 34 of the team’s 46 second-half points (74%) to Atlas his team to the NCAA’s. All in all, he had 42 of his team’s 66 points, for an astounding 64 % of his team’s output.
An apt number on his jersey...
His layup with about a minute left gave his team its first lead, and his jumper with 10 seconds left was the game-winner.
Did I mention that his team was at Weber State for the championship game? A great thing to see, though he will get no dap, as he plays for Montana. Shame.
