"No. 12 High Point's 83-82 upset victory over Wisconsin wouldn't have happened without Johnston. The senior guard, who finished with 14 points in 22 minutes of play, came up huge with a finger roll in the final seconds to win the game for High Point."
"Looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we ain't played nobody -- but we just proved we can compete."
High Point achieved its first NCAA tournament victory by defeating Wisconsin 83-82, with Johnston scoring the winning layup. Johnston, primarily a three-point shooter, made his first two-point field goal of the season in this game. Head coach Flynn Clayman emphasized the competitiveness of mid-major programs against Power 4 teams, advocating for more matchups between high-majors and mid-majors. Other teams like Howard and Siena also made notable tournament debuts, showcasing the excitement of March Madness.
