Johnson led the Gannon men's basketball team to a perfect 2-0 record during the last week as the Golden Knights posted victories over Glenville State (88-80) and 18th-ranked Daemen (68-64). The junior guard returned from a three-game lay-off with a career-high 26 points against Glenville State. He shot 60 percent (9-15) from the field, 44.4 percent (4-9) from three-point range and 1.000 percent (4-4) from the free throw line. Johnson added eight rebounds, six assists, and one steal.

Four days later, Johnson topped his career-high again with 28 points against Daemen. He shot 56.3 percent (9-16) from the field, 50 percent (4-8) from three-point range and 85.7 percent (6-7) from the free throw line. Johnson added four assists, three rebounds and one steal. He produced 19 points in the second half, hitting 5-of-7 shots and hitting all four three-point attempts in the final 20 minutes. Johnson hit five free throws in the final 43 seconds.
