Mulkey credited Johnson’s continued ability to lead from the sideline through the final minutes.“I feel good. I think her elbow just hit me in my eye, and I couldn’t really focus my eyes. I was seeing double,” Johnson said. “So, I was trying to go back in the game, and then I was like, ‘I can’t see. So, I just sat down. But I’m good, though.”Ahead of the injury, Johnson had struggled from the floor, scoring just three points on 1-of-8 shooting in 30 minutes, though she had recorded five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Johnson said she had flushed her shooting performance from her memory and was excited to return to the court with her teammates for the Tigers’ impending Elite Eight game against UCLA, which is a rematch of a Sweet 16 game from last season in Albany. In that game, Johnson exploded for 24 points and 12 rebounds, leading the Tigers to the Elite Eight.(Photo: Steph Chambers / Getty Images)
