AUBURN, Ala. - Just like you would expect from an accounting major, Auburn junior Ben Bode crunched the numbers.

"I thought if I got to half court, I'd have a 10-percent chance," said Bode, who won the Golden Flake Tuition Shootout Saturday, earning $5,000 off his tuition.

During halftime of Auburn's basketball game against Arkansas, Bode had 24 seconds to make a layup, free throw, 3-pointer and half-court shot.

"The odds were not great," Bode said. "The toughest part was not missing a 3."

Bode made the layup, free throw and 3-pointer on his first attempt.
