Emptying the Notebook: Javonte Johnson continues his emergence

Here are some extra notes, quotes, stats, videos, tweets and whatever else I could empty out of the old reporting notebook after Saturday night’s 90-87 Lobos loss in overtime to the Utah State Aggies in the Pit:

Javonte’s career night

He’s started a dozen games for the Lobos this season and Saturday was hardly his first big night in the cherry and silver.

But it was easily the best offensive performance in the young career of forward Javonte Johnson.

He started the game 6-of-6 shooting — all 3-pointers — and finished the night with the following career high stats:

• 23 points (previous 16)
• 7 made 3s (previous 3)
• 9 attempted 3s (previous 6)

Javonte's seventh three.
