Glory Road - * * *

Viewed at the theater

Mini review:

Glory Road will probably become one of the great sports movies, like Hoosiers, Bull Durham, and Rocky. Like the recent Cinderella Man, Glory Road transcends its sports story and comments on something much bigger.

In this case, this is a true story about a 1966 Texas Western basketball team that included the first all-black starting lineup. At first, the coach is just trying to recruit the best players; but by the end, he and his team realize what they are doing is much larger than a basketball game.
