After taking down No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson and making men’s NCAA tournament history, No. 9 Florida Atlantic University sophomore guard Johnell Davis accidentally dropped a curse word in his postgame interview.
While talking with reporter Jamie Erdahl, Davis spoke to what he’s been trying to prove in his career and accidentally said the “s-word” while giving his answer.
“It happens to all of us; we’re on truTV, man,” Erdahl said to ease Davis’ concern after he dropped a PG-13 swear on national television.
Hey, we’ve all said this word at some point in our life, so nobody hate on Davis for giving an honest answer in a very routine setting.

Davis earned the right to say what was on his mind after he set a men’s NCAA tournament record with 25-plus points, 10-plus recounds, five-plus assists and five-plus steals in a tournament game.
