Fox Sports broadcaster accidentally called Florida Atlantic's Giancarlo Rosado 'Rosario Dawson'
During Saturday’s marquee college basketball matchup between No. 4 Arizona and No. 14 Florida Atlantic, Fox Sports broadcaster Casey Jacobsen had a very funny snafu while trying to refer to Owls forward Giancarlo Rosado.
While discussing something happening in the game, Jacobsen referred to Rosado as “Rosario Dawson,” the veteran film and television actress currently playing Ahsoka in the Star Wars universe.
Their names really aren’t that similar, but they’re just close enough to where you could see how Jacobsen’s hysterical flub could happen.
The viewers at home probably did a double take once they heard Dawson’s name referenced in the broadcast out of nowhere.

This was a very honest mistake for a game broadcaster to make, as Jacobsen’s words got caught up just enough for this unexpected mention.
While we’re not sure if Dawson and Rosado know who each other are, they might become very aware after this very fun college hoops blooper.
