Former UCLA basketball player Nicole Kornet made a layup, a free throw, a 3-pointer and a half-court shot in succession during a promotional contest in her former team’s game against Fresno State on Friday night.

After posting the video to Twitter, Kornet followed up Saturday morning saying she wasn’t eligible due to stipulations in the contest rules.
Kornet said the contract for the contest said the participant needed to be four years removed from their basketball career.
Her final season at UCLA, where she transferred to after playing three years at Oklahoma, ended in 2017.
I did not end up winning the car, but they warned me beforehand. UCLA did their job! I just don’t want them in the hot seat. Thanks for understanding!

Kornet started seven games for the Bruins in 2016-17, averaging 7.7 points per game.
Obviously they have the rules in place for a reason. They don’t want to give cars away to great hoopers.
She made it look too easy.
