The University of Massachusetts has pledged to pay a student the $10,000 prize for making a half-court shot during halftime of a women’s basketball game, despite the shot being disputed by an insurance company as not being taken behind the mid-court line.

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.

After making a half court shot, Noah Lee's viral moment got even more attention when he was told he would not be getting the prize money.

Lee made a layup, a free throw, a 3-pointer and a half-court shot in under 30 seconds and was supposed to receive a $10,000 prize.

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

Lee says UMass staff reviewed the footage before they sent it off to the insurance company and noticed he put his foot on the half-court line.

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