The Greatest Game Ever

August 27th, 2009 admin No comments

The greatest game that was ever played was in 1966 where UTEP played. but before it was called Texas Western College. it was the game where it broke the color barrier and now African Americans can play with others and everyone as well. Coach Don Haskins replaced all of the white players with the African Americans in the starting five and it was the first time that that has ever happen at that time. it was bad time bad then where the African Americans were constantly threatened by whites and everyone who did not want the change mad want it to stay the way it was and it took their spot on the team. they played against an all white Kentucky team. the Texas western team defeated them in the championship game. they then made that into a movie called glory road and it is a good movie as well. if it were not for this game, many different countries would not be able to participate in basketball.
