Now Hill rockets a pass into Lattin. 453 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,425 And he dunks it over Riley. 454 00:32:36,495 --> 00:32:38,656 Aah! 455 00:32:38,730 --> 00:32:39,788 Yeah! 456 00:32:39,865 --> 00:32:41,958 (cheering) 457 00:32:42,034 --> 00:32:46,471 - He was making a statement with that. - And Adolph Rupp looks disgusted. 458 00:32:46,538 --> 00:32:50,907 Now Kentucky on offense for the first time.

Two shots. 472 00:33:32,417 --> 00:33:34,442 A pair of free throws ties the game at 12. 473 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,250 but the Baron is not happy on the Kentucky bench. 474 00:33:37,322 --> 00:33:40,553 Texas Western very disciplined against this Kentucky zone. 475 00:33:40,626 --> 00:33:43,720 They work the ball down low to Lattin. He goes up for the shot. 476 00:33:43,795 --> 00:33:48,255 No good. Offensive rebound. Flournoy, and he is down and hurt. 477 00:33:48,333 --> 00:33:50,028 (official) Stay down.

This will be tough because he's a great rebounder for Texas Western. 487 00:34:23,302 --> 00:34:28,899 At six-five, he is one of the best. and it'll be a disaster if he can't continue. 488 00:34:28,974 --> 00:34:31,306 Tough break, son. 489 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,313 Ten minutes gone in this fast-paced first half. 490 00:34:38,383 --> 00:34:42,080 Kentucky with the ball and the lead.

And Coach Haskins wants a word with Bobby Joe Hill. 499 00:35:09,881 --> 00:35:13,578 The Wildcats by four now with a chance to stretch their lead. 500 00:35:13,652 --> 00:35:16,644 Here's Tommy Kron bringing the ball up for Kentucky. 501 00:35:16,722 --> 00:35:19,384 Orsten Artis all over him.

He's played by Bobby Joe Hill. 507 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,131 He steps in and steals it again! Holy mackerel! 508 00:35:37,209 --> 00:35:41,145 Bobby Joe Hill picked the lock on the Fort Knox hands of Louie Dampier. 509 00:35:41,213 --> 00:35:45,650 and he's got back-to-back steals and lay-ups.

Kentucky's so big. and Adolph Rupp's name was so big. 697 00:49:33,845 --> 00:49:38,805 that. I guess. that made it more significant. 698 00:49:38,883 --> 00:49:42,478 The initial thought was. "Do we really have a chance here?" 699 00:49:42,553 --> 00:49:45,317 We felt their presence at the beginning of the game. 700 00:49:45,389 --> 00:49:48,950 when they came out with this incredible effort and zeal. 701 00:49:49,026 --> 00:49:54,396 I think the most significant... It's when David Lattin made his dunk shot - 702 00:49:54,465 --> 00:49:56,296 that's what really got us going. 703 00:49:56,367 --> 00:50:00,565 And I went up, and he grabbed it. and he just kept going up and up and up. 704 00:50:00,638 --> 00:50:02,629 And he just dunked it over the top of me. 705 00:50:02,707 --> 00:50:06,643 He put it down with such ferocity that it intimidated me. 706 00:50:06,711 --> 00:50:11,546 And I did tell David before the game. if he hadn't run over somebody. 707 00:50:11,616 --> 00:50:15,017 that I wanted him to tear the rim off a couple of times. 708 00:50:15,086 --> 00:50:21,252 But those two steals by Bobby Joe Hill broke our back 709 00:50:21,325 --> 00:50:25,523 and reinforced what the reality was. 710 00:50:25,596 --> 00:50:28,963 And the reality was this: 711 00:50:29,033 --> 00:50:31,194 They were bigger and they were better 712 00:50:31,269 --> 00:50:35,205 and they were more talented and they were quicker. They were a better team. 713 00:50:35,273 --> 00:50:38,834 Kentucky was kind of a tough team to match up against. 714 00:50:38,910 --> 00:50:41,743 See, that was a very, very quick team. 715 00:50:41,812 --> 00:50:47,011 And I played the guys that I felt we could win with. 716 00:50:47,084 --> 00:50:50,815 We ran out there. And what I saw was wall-to-wall people. 717 00:50:52,223 --> 00:50:55,954 The reporter was white. The cheerleaders was white. 718 00:50:56,027 --> 00:50:58,791 The referee was white. The camera people was white. 719 00:50:58,863 --> 00:51:04,324 It was an atmosphere that could have been real hostile for us if we allowed it to be. 720 00:51:04,402 --> 00:51:10,898 I feel that this game was probably the Emancipation Proclamation of 1966. 721 00:51:10,975 --> 00:51:16,470 And it wasn't until history started to talk about this game, you know, in that context. 722 00:51:16,547 --> 00:51:19,539 that we realized we were part of something that was bigger 723 00:51:19,617 --> 00:51:21,778 than just five blacks and five whites. 724 00:51:21,852 --> 00:51:26,186 Black ballplayers were thought of as inferior. 725 00:51:26,257 --> 00:51:32,025 You know, can't work under pressure. You know, rip 'em a little bit, and they'll fold. 726 00:51:32,096 --> 00:51:36,624 That was the way that a white person was thinking back then. 727 00:51:36,701 --> 00:51:40,159 that we couldn't compete with the white players. 728 00:51:40,238 --> 00:51:43,401 We experienced a lot of racism during that season. 729 00:51:43,474 --> 00:51:50,812 People would spit at you. and fans would call us niggers, coons... 730 00:51:52,049 --> 00:51:57,180 And the world looked at it in that perspective - 731 00:51:57,255 --> 00:52:01,521 the white team verses this black team. For us. 732 00:52:01,592 --> 00:52:04,618 We were playing for much more than what they were playing for. 733 00:52:04,695 --> 00:52:07,630 They were playing for just another championship. 734 00:52:07,698 --> 00:52:12,032 We were playing to prove that it doesn't make any difference what color you were - 735 00:52:12,103 --> 00:52:16,802 if you're given the opportunity. you could do anything. 736 00:52:16,874 --> 00:52:20,833 If I could turn back the hands of time. 737 00:52:20,911 --> 00:52:27,680 I would have love to have gone over to the Kentucky players 738 00:52:27,752 --> 00:52:29,879 and shaken their hands. 739 00:52:29,954 --> 00:52:32,889 Not to patronize them, you know? 740 00:52:32,957 --> 00:52:36,893 And not to say. "Thank you for giving me an opportunity." 741 00:52:36,961 --> 00:52:40,453 You didn't give us this opportunity. We earned this, see. 742 00:52:40,531 --> 00:52:45,559 I'm proud to be part of this portrayal of a great, great man in Don Haskins 743 00:52:45,636 --> 00:52:50,164 and, you know, players who simply cared about being great 744 00:52:50,241 --> 00:52:53,506 and wanting to separate themselves from the pack 745 00:52:53,577 --> 00:52:58,173 and wanting to do something unique. 746 00:52:58,249 --> 00:53:02,345 And to leave footprints in the sand. They've done that, man. 747 00:53:02,420 --> 00:53:04,547 They've done that. 748 00:54:18,896 --> 00:54:22,297 (# "I Will Make the Darkness Light" by Alicia Keys) 749 00:54:23,701 --> 00:54:29,333 # I will make the darkness light 750 00:54:29,407 --> 00:54:33,867 # Before you 751 00:54:35,813 --> 00:54:38,338 # What is wrong 752 00:54:38,416 --> 00:54:42,318 # I'll make it right 753 00:54:42,386 --> 00:54:46,447 # For you 754 00:54:48,626 --> 00:54:51,117 # All the battles 755 00:54:51,195 --> 00:54:55,154 # I will fight them 756 00:54:55,232 --> 00:54:59,032 # For you 757 00:55:01,005 --> 00:55:05,806 # And the high place 758 00:55:05,876 --> 00:55:12,372 # I'll bring down 759 00:55:53,224 --> 00:55:57,684 # And the high place 760 00:55:57,761 --> 00:56:02,630 # I'll bring 761 00:56:02,700 --> 00:56:08,605 # Down 762 00:56:10,708 --> 00:56:15,441 # Mmm-mmm-ahh 763 00:56:17,381 --> 00:56:22,580 # Hmm
