The first round of half-court shots, which were sponsored by Game Day Spirit, took place during pre-game with the second round of shots, sponsored by FlyCU, taking place during the first half. The final round, sponsored by Homefield Energy Services, took place during the second half.<\/p>\n<p>The night&#8217;s first winner, Ryan Dowling, barely got to the marketing table in time, but went on to nail his half-court shot just before the game started, while Drake Kurtenbach, a senior, swished one in during the first half, netting himself $10K and a giant roar from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rMs2oABs8XQ\">Watch their amazing half court shots for yourself.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Need to drive more app downloads and keep your fans engaged?
