The UMass Athletic Department is working on rewarding the student $10,000 after he sunk a half-court shot Wednesday night.

A UMass student who was initially denied​ a $10,000 prize after making a half-court shot will be getting the money after all.

UMass said it would pay a student the $10,000 prize for a halftime promotion at a women’s basketball game after a dispute with an insurance company over whether he stepped over the line when he made a half-court shot.
