  "Glory Road" (2006) / review and/or viewer comments - Christian Spotlight on the Movies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)

Glory Road tells the story of how perennial Division 1 underdogs, the Texas Western Miners, rose through the ranks to beat the University of Kentucky Wildcats, the most feared team in the NCAA, and their legendary coach Adolph Rupp (Jon Voight).

Glory Road is a fantasy novel by Robert A. Heinlein, originally serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (July - September 1963) and published in hardcover later the same year.

 Thunderstruck
The movie we had been talking about was Glory Road, an intense and uplifting basketball film that is one part jock-flick and one part social commentary.
