watch out for him this post season

His J has really looked solid lately. He's finding balance and pulling the trigger smoothly.

Posted: **Thu Mar 12, 2015 11:23 pm**

First time he's had at least 15 points and five rebounds since Feb. 13. No time like the present.

First game I've been able to catch live in awhile, and SJ looked smooth (despite the crap stream). Much more comfortable in the flow of the game than earlier in the season. What're the chances they implement a two year minimum stay? In the next three weeks?

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2015 7:51 am**

Stanley's figured things out... Looks like he's ready to rock and roll! (if the refs let him play)

Applying only to guys named Stanley? Probably low.

Would love to watch that mid-range game for another year. Dreaming, I know.

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2015 8:21 pm**

Clutch down the stretch. Dude knows how to win.

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2015 10:32 pm**

He's fulfilling his promise, that's for sure.

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2015 10:35 pm**

That defense, too

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:22 am**

Redeemed. Ill-advised one on three fast break. Bruins get three off that. But big offensive rebound, two free throws and the monster three.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:37 am**

Love his game in a one and done situation.

Forgot who said it, but reported that Miller said that Johnson is the best on the team in forgetting a bad play. He makes a bad play on one side, then comes back and makes a great defensive one.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:54 am**

That's a nice trait. I was fuming when he did that. Pull it out! Run 20 seconds off clock! We're up five!

His board off the McConnell miss was huge. Would've been Bruin ball down 2.

Seems like twice a game we are reminded he's a freshman. But the rest of the time his play is so good and so mature. As Longhorned pointed out he shut Powell down in the second. You don't see too many freshman willing and able to take on that kind of challenge.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:15 am**

Longhorned's Bold Prediction Based on Extra-Sensory Perception Rather than Anything of Substance:

Stanley Johnson got the final freshman mistake of the year out of his system last night. From tonight through Arizona's final game, he's just a cold-blooded assassin on both sides of the ball, with his freshman history behind him.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2015 1:01 pm**

I'm tolerant. Would accept sophomore mistakes from Stan.

Posted: **Mon Mar 16, 2015 4:04 pm**

Anyone remember about how much time was left when Stanley winked at the camera in slow motion? We re-watched it about 6 times during the game lol

Yes. I think very highly of stanley, just a surprise to actually see his game get a quantifiable measurement that high, considering he's more of a "you gotta see him play" guy, rather than a "look at these stats" guy.

Posted: **Thu Mar 19, 2015 1:29 pm**

Lol at Reggie Miller questioning the people who knock his outside shot.

Posted: **Thu Mar 19, 2015 2:25 pm**

Stanley J. On fire... shot the lights out!

22 pts, 5 rebs, 2 asts, 2 stls, 1 blk.

Does anybody else realize Ashley was our leading scorer, averaging 20 ppg in the Pac-12 tourney--and was fifth in points today?

THAT is balance.

Posted: **Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:35 pm**

Best takeaway from today was SJ playing at the top of his game. If that continues we will not lose.

Posted: **Thu Mar 19, 2015 5:15 pm**

i appreciate that the national media is starting to pick up on the whole "does stanley johnson ever lose??" thing -- 4 state hs bb titles, 3x usa bb/FIBA world titles, maui inv title, pac-12 conf championship, pac-12 tournament trophy... and this train's not slowing down!

Wow 27 years from corn to zero. Norman only needed 26 games to score 500+. Fewest of that group with no 3 pt line

Posted: **Thu Mar 19, 2015 7:48 pm**

Stanley and Rondae showed a ridiculous talent gap from their competition today. Just outclassed whomever checked them. And Brandon could have been more active as well, if we had needed him to be...he had the post up lean in at will.

The only negatives today were a bit of a defensive letdown in the 2nd half (it happens) and Gabe not staying hot. Otherwise, we were clinical. That first half was textbook dismantling of an opponent

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2015 6:20 am**

"I think when he walked out there, you look at his body, we hadn't seen that," Texas Southern coach Mike Davis said. "I mean, we played a lot of really good teams this year. That's the first time we saw a guy walk out there that looked like that. I remember playing Florida a couple years ago and they had Bradley Beal. When a guy walk[s] on the court, you look at him, you say, 'That's definitely a pro.' "

Offensively. Agreed with Reggie that he was a little lazy and gambling too much on D.

As a team, we could have moved our feet and controlled penetration better. There was too much reaching instead of cutting penetrators off with feet, but that's something to tighten for Saturday. We still rolled, and improved D is just something to work on.

Agree. SJ was hardly the only one doing it. It's gotta be tough playing 35 minutes of hard defense when you're up by 20 the whole time.

Exactly, and that's why it doesn't bother me at all. We will come out and punch tOSU in the face.

Yeah, I felt like our defensive intensity dropped when we were up 20, but it was clear they were dead and buried. It's a point to build off so it doesn't happen again, but I'm not freaking out that we broke their back early then didn't keep 100% intensity. It was obvious we had the game already finished.

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2015 7:45 am**

My wife asked me how the game went, and I told her, 'Best possible result. We won by 20 but the coaches still have a strong message to send.'
