Social media reacts to Pewaukee grad Jack Gohlke and Oakland Golden Grizzlies win over Kentucky

Pewaukee Lake is less than three miles from his high school, and Oakland University's Jack Gohlke put a new spin on catch and release Thursday night.

In a first-round NCAA Tournament game against Kentucky, Gohlke, who attended Pewaukee High School, hit 7 of 13 three-point attempts in the first half.

Left wing, right wing, off the turn.

Indoor rain from all angles.

Gohlke broke the single-game record for most three-pointers by a Kentucky opponent in an NCAA Tournament game with a few minutes remaining in the first half.

It didn't take a basketball genius to figure out what Oakland coach Greg Kampe planned to tell his designated perimeter marksman during the break.

"Keep shooting," Kampe said.

Gohlke's teammates joked in a press conference Wednesday that the graduate transfer from Hillsdale College rarely takes two-point shots. Except, it's not a joke.

"It's happened before, but maybe not tomorrow," Gohlke added.

The 14th-seeded Golden Grizzles led the No. 3-seeded Wildcats 38-35 at halftime and Gohlke's true early madness helped produce a shocking 80-76 upset that made him a social media sensation on this night in March.
