LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson shares sassy two-word message for all the haters after NCAA Tournament win image

Flau’Jae Johnson was a bit of an injury question mark heading into the NCAA Tournament after missing a few weeks with a shin injury.

But the LSU star and rapper looked just fine on Saturday night in a win over San Diego State.

Johnson dropped 22 points on an efficient 9-for-15 shooting, including 4-for-7 from 3-point range. She added four steals and two blocks in her game-changing night.

And with time winding down, Johnson let out a scream and two words that said everything we needed to know:

“I’m back!”

And then she said it again, just for good measure.

Johnson reached the 1500-career points milestone in the win, too.

“I feel like when you don't get a chance to play basketball, it really changes your perspective on coming out and giving everything you got,” Johnson said postgame, via NCAA transcripts.

The win means Flau’Jae and Florida State are back in action Monday in the Round of 32 against 6-seed Florida State. With the Tigers star playing her best, they’ll be tough for anyone to beat.
