Way to go UMass!!!!

[Dove]

During a Women's game this week, a promo was held where a student needed to make three straight baskets to win 10k. He did it! Last shot was from half court. After the bedlam faded an insurance company said "NOPE!!! Foot on the line!!" UMass is paying him anyway.

Rules are rules. I notice the people always step over 1/2 court or the 3pt line in those half time shootouts. I would decline too.

Subject line I never thought I'd see on here. Lol

Yeah this thing has been thoroughly discussed this week in the "Other NCAA D1 Games".

February: Other NCAA D1 games

Benefit of playing in the SEC is you have plenty of opportunities to pick up quality wins, Arkansas probably gonna make a run to get a bid now with the way they're playing. Up 20 on Texas's home floor and Texas has been playing pretty well lately. This sucks. We needed that Texas win to hold...

Who roots for an insurance company?

Have an official monitoring the feet and then raise a flag immediately — while the ball is still in the air.

Foot fault.

The school announced either they or the insurance company will pay him.

Shades of The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase knocking the basketball away from the kid before he could dribble it enough times to get paid

I read there was nothing specific about any line at half court.

I expected this to be somebody grazing the paint, not a full line stomp
