UMass Will Give $10K to Student Who Made Half-Court Shot After Insurance Company Denies Prize

Skill contests at sporting events are a great way to keep fans entertained during down times.

Luckily, UMass decided to step in.

Lee was selected for the contest and made his way to the court during halftime.

He even added a hashtag hoping to land his pal on ESPN’SSportsCenterTop 10.

Sadly, the excitement quickly died down.

Schreiberreportedthat Lee was notified by Odds On Promotions that he would not be getting the prize money.

For all those wondering, were working on getting $10K to Noah, heannounced on X.

If we cant get to a good result via the insurance company, we will pay him directly.

Schreiber then confirmed UMass had reached out to Lee.
