Javonte Johnson isn’t a man of many words.
So when asked Monday night about a play with 5 minutes, 47 seconds left in the 86-61 win over Grambling State in the Pit – when he passed up on a wide open 3-pointer on a fast break and opted instead for a bounce pass to teammate Taryn Todd under the Lobos basket for a layup – he didn’t try to dance around any elaborate explanation.
“He was also open,” Johnson said, “but he was under the rim. So it was a better shot.”
An easy play. A simple answer.
