Alize Johnson steps up for Missouri State as a leader in win

Alize Johnson went into Wednesday night's halftime with four points and six rebounds. His team trailed by five.

Coming out of the break, Johnson sank the Bears' first bucket of the half — and the next three.

The reigning Missouri Valley Player of the Week took over on Missouri State's way to a 64-57 win over Valparaiso.

He showed why NBA mock drafts say he's a first-rounder as he scored in different ways.

He'd spot up from 3-point range while knocking down three treys. He'd drive the lane for difficult layups. He also threw down ferocious dunks that put a reported crowd of 4,876 on its feet.
