William Worthing played basketball at Creighton from 1929-32. Worthing was remembered for hitting the shot. On January 10, 1930, William Worthing hit an 85-foot shot to beat Kentucky 28-27. To commemorate the shot as the longest field goal at Kentucky, UK officials placed a brass plate in the gym. When the Wildcats moved to Rupp Arena, the brass plate was moved to the exact location on the new floor.
