Bellarmine student hits half court shot, wins cruise (VIDEO)

Bellarmine

Last Thursday, during halftime of the Division II game between Quincy University and Bellarmine University, a halftime promotion resulted in a Bellarmine student winning a cruise.

Casey Saulman won a trip to the Caribbean after successfully completing the layup, free throw, 3-point, half court shot promotion.

“I just looked over to the sideline and people were saying I won,” Saulman told WAVE-TV afterwards. “I just thought of the Caribbean trip and started running and screaming and heard all the fans and it was crazy!”

This is a stable in plenty of high school, college, professional halftime entertainment rotations (maybe not the Caribbean part) and I can honestly say I’ve never seen this done before.

It only took him five shots to complete it - missing a free throw that bounced right back to him - and nailed the 3-pointer and half court shot consecutively.

Bellarmine won 65-50.

FYI - the layup won him breadsticks and the three won him pizza, according to WAVE.
