A UMass student who made a half-court shot during a women’s basketball game halftime promotion will get his $10,000 prize from the school itself.

A UMass Amherst senior thought he won a $10,000 prize after hitting a half-court shot during a halftime challenge.

But on Friday, UMass stepped in to rectify the situation, announcing that the school would award the $10,000 to Lee directly. “We weren’t satisfied with that outcome and arrived at the decision to provide Noah with both a $10,000 award and a host of additional UMass athletics benefits,” the school said in a statement.
