$1 million shot we never got to see

Bobbi and Jimmy Windham show off BB&T's $2,500 check.

How many of us tuned in at halftime of last Friday night’s Duke-Maryland game to watch Bradenton’s Jimmy Windham attempt to sink three baskets for a cool $1 million?

He still got $2,500 and a whirlwind four-day, all-expenses paid weekend with wife Bobbi.
