Texas Western vs. Kentucky 1966

[Ptrix2198]

UTEP!

[TonyLyndellWilliams]

Texas Western was simply more talented ... quicker.

Better point guard in Hill ... and a superior post player in Lattin.

I think some people like to re-write history.

This game has turned into something far more significant than it actually was based on our politically correct society.

Kentucky played against a number of majority black teams that year.

Because blacks beat whites this game is infamous.

If Kentucky had won few people would remember it and certainly would not have drawn any racial conclusions.

[matchem1]

When my friend picked UTEP out of the NCAA basketball pool and asked who are they? I told her that is the school that made history back in '66 when I was 15 years old. I am from Kentucky and I hated Coach Rupp. When Texas Western beat KY I was proud to have witnessed his defeat. I love KY now but not back in those days. Do you know what I mean?

[man02raider]

I was born andlived in el paso for several years and the UTEP basketball team gives everyone there a sense of pride

GLORY ROAD<3

The story of this team makes me cry.

Inspirational.

[41htdex]

Refs did a good job called a fair game. I didn't realize how pretty a shot Worsely had. In the movie he doesn't seem to be a factor. Cager, was incredibly athletic. What a cool team.

[41htdex]

One part of the movie that was dramatized was coach intentionally starting all black players to make a statement. Starter was injured. Announcers are zombies.

[Phz117]

im form kentucky n i happy the 1st all black team one

[BRJPinkston]

Thats not funny. I am from kentucky and we don't talk like that at all. go there before you judge

[SiriusPadfoot2]

Did Haskins not play any white players during the championship game to make a statement or just because they sucked?

[StefenRW]

to make a statement, because armstrong was one of his best defensive players

[iBeth602]

He was making a statement that just because someone is of a certain race, that doesn't make them better than others. I'm guessing that he knew something was going to happen that day.

[youknoww91]

I just watched this on t.v lol

[sdfeinstein]

Game location: Cole Field House, University of Maryland. In those days, it was a state of the art facility. I don't think the game was on national television.

[oreps60]

i never followed college BB. the loyola chicago-cincinnati game got me going, and after this game i was hooked. what i remember most were the steals and rooting for the underdog. i feel this game put march madness on the map, much like the famous Colt-Giant pro football OT game.

[supu6]

Wouldn't this be amazing to watch remastered...lol. Don Haskins gave us Black NCAA basketball players the least we can do is remaster it so we can see what he did clearer, lol.

[macomoto]

It already is remastered.  Google "ncaa on demand"

[23slovan23]

R.I.P. Billy Joe Hill he died in 2002 :(

[CrankyOldShit]

I'm watching the movie right now... It starts off with a dunk, does anyone know if that's historically accurate?

[jmbd07]

who cares moron

[primoboy360]

your an arrogant fool

[utep43]

It's true. I heard Haskins say that he told Latin that he want him to tear down the rim. and said he didn't care if Latin had to run through someone.

[WallaceXtwojc]

RIP-Coach Haskins from Vegas!!!

[makeitrocklikeitrolz]

Classiness has no color. Thank you, Coach Haskins. Thank you so very much!!!

[marco8808]

RIP Coach Haskins...

[macomoto]

R.I.P. Coach Haskins..... you will be missed!

[supu6]

Do you mind telling me where you got this?

[macomoto]

I'm a close friend of a guy who is married to one of the cheerleaders of the 1966 team. He was given this tape in 1986 at the 20yr reunion. He asked me if I could put it on dvd and I did.

[zuluhootchie]

thx for sharing it.

[ThailandKyle]

In the movie Glory Road, Haskins tells his team he will only be playing black players the day before the game. I know he started 5black players. But just wondering if he stuck to his promise of not playing any white players just for that game to make a statement?

[macomoto]

I believe that was just hollywood stuff.

[Winki1234567890]

El Pasco Texas GO  MINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ph0rminator]

[natedogg6256]

[kingdin34]

black people definitivly change the game

[Leoson80]

was a bit more exciting on the movie.. i wanted to see a big black guy dunk on a white man who cant jump

[freein2339]

Thank God the game has gotten better..I wonder if any of these guys can get to the rim...

[poyamandet]

I LIKE THIS =)

[nissemajs]

good the real game :) i love the movie Glory Road :)

[2l0ty]

I've just watched it :)

[BigHippiePat]

I have too. I wasn't around at the time so I started doing more and more research surrounding this team.

[flipass14]

i heard the coach Don Haskins is known as The Bear!LOL!

[macomoto]

Yes, that is true!!!

[meli1989]

great game!! :)

[drevalwil]

it was  nice

[351tc]

the most greatest team in NCAA is now going to the basketball hall of fame

[christopherburch]

You know, I've watched both clips of this game on youtube and seen other segments as well, and I've still yet to see any of the slow motion, between-the-legs, behind the back, 720 tomohawk slams like in the movie "Glory Road." Am I missing something?

[drtehyu]

they just added that stuff for excitment for the game.

[wsgbane]

That was exaggeration, but I'm sure that's what it felt like to Kentucky when they were playing them.

[abdcc]

hey i didnt knew there was zone defence back then and i thought it was forbidden cuz a lot of people says if there was zone defence hen Jordan was playing he wouldnt score that much

[tanseymd]

Zone was always allowed in college.

[hurtjak117]

texas western is still the only team in texas to win a b ball ncaa champ

[aafrias]

That 66 Team really could guard the hell out of people.

[SMiTHKiD02]
