Best of Midnight Madness: Half-court shot costs Bill Self $10,000

Midnight Madness produces some memorable moments each year, so The Dagger is chronicling the best ones from this October's lineup. If you spot something we missed, let us know here or here.

Bill Self's director of basketball operations cost him $10,000 on Friday night. When Kansas sophomore Jerrod Martin Castro won a contest at Late Night in the Phog enabling him to either attempt a half-court shot for prize money or have someone shoot it for him, he selected director of basketball operations Brennan Bechard to take the shot. Bechard, a former Jayhawks walk-on, buried the $10,000 shot, earning a huge hug from Bechard and landing him at the bottom of a dog pile of Kansas players. The half-court shot was one of several fun moments from this year's Late Night event. Freshman Carlton Bragg also showed off his piano skills and Self appeared in a pair of funny Rob Lowe-esque skits in which he poked fun at himself and took a funny jab at Kansas State.
