Winning is never a slam dunk. They were the most popular fraternity on the campus of college basketball in the early 1980's. Led by a Nigerian soccer player named Hakeem Olajuwon and a lightly recruited hometown kid named Clyde Drexler, the University of Houston Cougars not only electrified the NCAA Final Four with three straight appearances (1982-84), but they also helped transform the game itself.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I must say i am really surprised that I'm not only the first to review this documentary, but that I'm the first to give it 10/10. A great, and greatly tragic story that is told without too much bias when it would be easy to let emotion cloud the truth. A must watch. The film not only captures the story of Benjamin Marshall, but also of a city along with its inherent struggles, and a terrible felling of what if? I don't want to take away from the film, but i will say not knowing the story before i watched the film took me on an emotional journey which at the end left me asking questions and feeling overwhelmed, and any documentary the can take you on that journey is worth a watch at least. Do yourself a favor.
