A Louisville resident and obvious fan sent Oakland a check with a nice note. He says he normally sends a certain amount each year to the school that knocks Kentucky out of the tournament. This year because of OUr story he doubled the amount. Truly the definition of March Madness

Let’s make it three this Saturday
In the last 25 years across the NBA, WNBA & Division I (men/women), there have been two instances of a player coming off the bench & attempting 20+ three-pointers in a game without attempting a single two-pointer.
Both were by Jack Gohlke this year (Feb. 8 at NKU, today vs. UK).
