In two wins over No. 22 Missouri and No. 13 Texas A&M, he averaged 21.0 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 36.1 minutes per game, which was highlighted by a career-high 30 points in the comeback win over the Aggies on Saturday. In that contest, Johnson scored 24 in the second half to help bring the Longhorns back from down 22.

"He better be a guy that can get some things done at a high level," Texas head coach Rodney Terry said of Johnson after the win over A&M. "... He's more than lived up to the billing in terms of being ready to play on this stage."

The Longhorns received 22 votes in the AP Poll Monday. Texas will visit Chris Beard and No. 23 Ole Miss on Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT.
