Yeah. It about Texas Western College (now UTEP) who won the 1966 NCAA tournament. They had an all black starting lineup and they beat the all-White Kentucky team.
It is a good movie! They had a showing here at UTEP a few weeks back, and many of the of the movie (even Josh Lucas or whatever his name is) came. And a lot of the players from the 1966 basketball team came! It was a star-studded event! lol. Too bad I had a lot of tests and couldn't go! BOOO.
My mom was in school at TWC at that time and she told me about how exciting it was to go to the basketball games. She says it still gives her chills!!
And if you guys watch the part about one of the player's mother...IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE!! lol, my mom said that everyone knew about him and his mom (lol..i dont want to give away exactly what happened, so what the movie! lol)
