Kent State center Kalin Bennett provided one of the first highlights of the college basketball season on Wednesday night.
Bennett, who has autism, made his debut in Kent State's 97–58 win over Hiram. He entered the game with six minutes remaining and made a left-handed hook shot in the post with 2:30 left in the game to become the first player with autism to score in a Division I game. The 6'11", 300-pound freshman from Little Rock went 1-for-3 with two rebounds and a block.
After the game, his teammates cheered him on as he rang the victory bell.
