BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - UAB point guard Aaron Johnson says he expects to play in Wednesday night's game at Memphis.
A broken nose sidelined Johnson during the end of a double-overtime loss to UTEP last weekend. The Blazers struggled without their floor leader and wound up falling out of the Top 25 and into a three-way tie for first place in Conference USA.
Johnson says he doesn't think anything can keep him from playing against Memphis. Coach Mike Davis says he thinks Johnson will be ready to play, but will wear a protective mask.
How important is Johnson's presence? In Davis's words, "we've got to have him."
