Alex Rodriguez drills half-court shot to send Bucknell student home with $10,000

Three-time AL MVP winner Alex Rodriguez delivered in the clutch once again.

The 49-year-old drilled a half-court shot during the break of an NCAA men’s basketball game — sending a lucky student home with a $10,000 prize.

Those in attendance for a clash between the Bucknell Bison and the Army Black Knights were treated to a surprise guest-shooter for the school’s promotional contest.

After knocking home the bank-shot, Rodriguez jogged down to celebrate with the raucous student section, after they began their way slightly onto the court.

Rodriguez, set to purchase controlling interest in the Minnesota Timberwolves amid an on-going legal dispute, was at the school to speak during a special event on campus.

Bucknell won the game 84-53 and sits second in the NCAA’s Patriot League Conference with a 15-14 overall record.
