Texas Southern Freshman develops into threat

Texas Southern Coach Tony Harvey

Contributing role suits TSU's Johnson-Danner

Texas Southern redshirt freshman guard Lawrence Johnson-Danner was thrust into a prominent role early in the season when three key players were sidelined because of compliance issues.

Forward Travele Jones and guards Harrison Smith and Justin Ray have since returned after missing a quarter of the schedule, but Johnson-Danner remains one of the Tigers' most important contributors.

Johnson-Danner played a big role in Saturday's 58-51 victory over Prairie View A&M, scoring 13 points and hitting four free throws during the final 1:19 that allowed the Tigers to win their third straight game and improve to 5-9 and 3-0 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
