One student at KU's Late Night in the Phog walked away with a $10,000 check from head coach Bill Self on Friday night.
Jerrod Martin Castro, a sophomore, was one of two students picked to shoot a half-court shot. Each student had the option of allowing a guest shooter to take the shot instead. For Castro, Brennan Bechard, the Kansas director of basketball operations, attempted the heave and hit nothing but the bottom of the net. Self signed Castro a check moments later.
