Despite Davis' strong performance, including 18 points, his team's defeat ended their tournament run and allowed Northwestern to advance.
During a postgame interview after Florida Atlantic's win over Fairleigh Dickinson in the Round of 32, Johnell Davis accidentally dropped the S-word.

Davis dropped 29 points to go with 12 rebounds and five assists as Florida Atlantic ended Fairleigh Dickinson's Cinderella run.
