Here is all you need to know about Jack Gohlke including his age, career, bio and more about the basketball player
The Oakland sharpshooter Jack Gohlke had the best possible luck on Thursday night. With a game-high 32 points on a flurry of catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, he added to Kentucky’s recent March misery as 14th-seeded Oakland shocked the heavily favoured Wildcats 80-76.
Gohlke’s ten 3-pointers fell one shy of the all-time single-game record for the NCAA tournament, which was set in 1990 by Jeff Fryer of LMU. Gohlke and the Horizon League champion Grizzlies defeated third-seeded Kentucky 80-76 in the process, eliminating them from the Big Dance.
