Glory Road
In 1966, Texas Western coach Don Haskins led the first all-black starting line-up for a college basketball team to the NCAA national championship.
Critics Sentiment
Texas Western defeats Kentucky 72-65 in the NCAA final
Racists vandalize the team's motel rooms during an away game
The film drops dramatically from the team's playing breakthrough to the intense racist harassment, falling 3.5 points as the violence escalates.
Glory Road follows a classic underdog sports formula but elevates itself through its powerful examination of 1960s racism in college basketball. The film starts strong with recruitment and team building, dips into disturbing territory during the racist harassment sequences, then builds to a thrilling championship climax that critics universally praised.
