AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — An Auburn University student connected on a long-distance shot, draining a length-of-the-basketball court putt on Saturday to win a car.
After the putt found the small opening on the sign, Boyle raced around the court celebrating while fans erupted and TV cameras showed Auburn guard K.D.
Boyle was the first winner of the promotion this season, winning a car from a local Toyota dealership.
Craig Noyes, a writer for the university’s student-run site The Auburn Plainsman, won a car in the contest in February 2023.
It was the first time a student made the putt since 2014.
