If you’re the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, you’ll be doing everything you can to ensure Jack Gohlke is in the best condition possible to play. After the incredible performance he’s shown against the Kentucky Wildcats, it’s understandable to rely on him even more as they prepare to face NC State.
With the possibility of a Sweet 16 finish getting all the more closer, it wouldn’t be strange to think that the pressure might be getting to him and the players a little bit. After all, it’s been more than a decade since they made it back to the NCAA Tournament.
However, Gohlke seems to be just having the time of his life. He’s showcased that he can’t miss even if he wants to in a viral video.
Jack Gohlke makes a full-court shot in viral video of Oakland Golden Grizzlies practice
Evan Solomon, one of Gohlke’s teammates, posted a video of Gohlke goofing around after practice. It was obvious from the video that the team was cooling down after an intense practice session, but what he did blew the minds of everyone in the gym.
The man just sank a full-court shot.
The fact that he threw the ball like he was Patrick Mahomes shows just how relaxed he is ahead of their second-round match. It also showcases just how good of a shooter he is to make the right call in such absurd conditions.
This shooter’s mindset was evident during their game against the Wildcats. Jack Gohlke didn’t even bother dribbling the ball inside the three-point line. All of his 20 attempts were made from downtown, and the fact that he made half of those makes it all the more impressive.
Gohlke said that the Golden Grizzlies are no underdogs. If he keeps on shooting like he has the same DNA as Chef Curry, people will be keen to agree with him.
