“LFG!!!” - $14M worth Lane Kiffin backs Jack Gohlke as Oakland crew pulls off 80-76 upset over No. 3 seeded Kentucky

Jack Gohlke has become a national sensation due to his excellent three-point shooting. Although he often comes off the bench for Oakland, he played a crucial role in Oakland's victory over Kentucky on Thursday.

Gohlke played for 36 minutes, scored 32 points, and made 10 three-pointers at PPG Paints Arena. This outstanding performance has made him an instant star and a March Madness legend, as the No. 14 seed Oakland upset No. 3 seed Kentucky 80-76.

Even Ole Miss Rebels football coach Lane Kiffin, who is worth $14 million (per Celebrity Net Worth) was impressed, tweeting:

"LFG !!!! @MarchMadnessMBB This is so awesome #NeverQuit."

Gohlke’s incredible 10 three-pointers, was just one short of the NCAA Tournament record set in 1990 by Loyola Marymount's Jeff Fryer against Michigan.

Even though some may view Gohlke's performance as a Cinderella story, he said:

"We’re not Cinderella because when we play our A game, we can be the best team on the floor," he told CBS Sports.

Gohlke had already established himself as a sharpshooter, averaging 40% from three-point range in his previous season while playing for Division II school Hillsdale College. After playing his first five years at Hillsdale College, Jack Gohlke transferred to Oakland for his senior season.
