Demetre Roberts Screamed 'Get that sh-t out of here' After Blocking Braden Smith to Secure FDU's Upset
Fairleigh Dickinson beat Purdue on Friday night, 63-58, in what is just the second 16-over-1 in the history of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Demetre Roberts hit the two free throws to ice the game with seven-seconds remaining in the game and then came down on the other end of the court and blocked a Braden Smith layup into the stands. Roberts, who is listed at 5-foot-8, could be heard shouting, "Get that sh-t out of here" before he headbutted the stanchion.

What would you do if you are a 16 seed who just knocked off a 1?

Amazingly, that wasn't even the most impressive block of the last 20 seconds as Sean Moore did the same thing to a Smith layup attempt seconds earlier.
A HUGE BLOCK FOR FDU 🤯
