WATCH: Kentucky fan wins $10,000 after hitting half-court shot

ZGeogheganKSR

One lucky Kentucky fan is leaving Rupp Arena tonight with some coin in his pocket.

During the first half of Kentucky’s matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Wednesday night, a young Wildcat fan stepped up and knocked down a half-court shot that will net him $10,000, courtesy of Central Bank. He was only given three attempts to make it, and on the third and final try, he hit nothing but net.
