i had my tongue
hangin' out like mike.

there's no way
that shot doesn't drop.

unless that tongue's got
some aerodynamic properties
I don't know about,

it's not gonna help you
make a layup.

that's what I was
telling you about.

them aerodynamic
properties.
Tell it to mike.

serves up the alley-oop.

and antoine tyler
slams it home.

oh-oh !
That's the one-two punch.

the tyler brothers
cannot be stopped.
A & k, all the way !

that was a no-look pass
from kenny tyler...
Wow.

and a double-fisted,
slam-bam, thank you, ma'am
from antoine tyler.

that's brought the huskies
within one of the wildcats.

[ whistle blows ]
lute olson is gonna call
a time-out to regroup.

bernie, what else can
we say about this kid ?

a lot, ernie. A lot.
There's no question
he's the reason...

the huskies are 19 and 6.

antoine tyler just will not
allow this team to lose.

virtually overlooked
in the preseason polls,
they have scraped...

and clawed their way
to a tie atop
the pac-10 standings.

you did a little scraping
and clawing yourself
last night there, bernie.

[ both laughing ]
incidentally,
if they win the pac-10,

it'll be the first time
since 1985.

and that is a long, long,
long, long time to wait.

[ announcer ]
here's harry the husky to
attempt his patented slam dunk.

let's give him
a big hand, folks.
Let's cross our fingers too.

[ harry ]
huskies !

harry the husky on the run.

and the fly. Whoa !

he split the crossbeams
on that one.

hey, guys, did--
Did we make it ?

¶ [ marching band ]
huskies ! Yeah !

okay, we were 15 down at
the half. We fought like hell
to get back in this thing.

so let's not run outta steam,
all right ?

a turnover. Malik ?
- Hmm ?

They get a breakaway bucket, I'm
gonna have you back in siberia.

- it is serbia, coach.
- Whatever.

on their guards.

i want them to think
we're playin' with eight guys
out there.

they make it past half-court,
they're gonna win the game.
Yeah !

hold on by a narrow margin
as we near the five-minute
mark.

one powerhouse after another...

en route to their first berth
in the n.c.a.a. Tournament
since 1984.

o'grady will bring it up.
Lee guarding him

Off the mark. Young,

shoot the three !

hear me ?
You never shoot the three !

[ zigi clears throat ]

everybody, I--

[ zigi sighing ]

hit the showers.

all right.
Go hit the showers.

malik, I think that
three-point line in america
much longer than in serbia.

[ malik ]
shut up, you
seven-foot tweety bird.

shit, man !

damn !

[ chattering ]

what ? Huh ?

coach ?
Hey, coach ?

coach !

the ball ! It's gone !

it disappeared !

[ chattering ]

hmph. Hmm.

hmm. How ya doin' ?

how are you doin' ?

i'm fine.
I'm chillin'.
Chillin' ? Really ?

yeah.
'cause I'm worried about ya.

coach, I'm a big boy.
You ain't got to worry about me.

well, I do.

you've been hit pretty hard
lately. I don't want to add
to your problems.

but coach nichols thinks
I should start jimmy
at the point tomorrow.

normally I'd ignore him,
but it's the first original idea
he's had in five seasons,

so I'm trying it
on for size.

what do you think ?

you're the coach,
right ?
Yes, I am.

yeah, but jimmy
can't set the pick.
He can't go to his left.

he couldn't carry this team
with a forklift. Kenny,
you're my guy now.

but I gotta know
you're ready to step up
to the plate.

yesterday was the worst practice
I've seen from this
or any other team I've coached.

and you didn't say a word.
Now, why is that ?

coach, I'm not antoine, man.
I know who I'm talking to.

i need you to
take charge of this team.
I need a general.

that's not my game.
I'm asking you
to make it your game !

but if it's not my game--
I'm--

[ sighs ]

kenny, you know it was
four years ago today...

that your brother signed
a letter of intent to play
basketball at u-dub.

i remember that day.
I opened a ten-year-old
bottle of scotch.

i went home for lunch.
I took a run at the wife.
Hey.

i don't want to hear--
Kenny, that was
a great day.

the next year we signed you,
and I knew I had a team...

that could take washington
to the final four for
the first time since '63.

and I'm not willing to say
good-bye to that dream,
kenny. Are you ?

i gotta go, coach.
I got a 2:00.

hey, kenny.

you don't have to play
without your brother, you know ?
You got 'im.

right here.

[ announcer ] at the start of
the second half, the cal bears
lead the hapless huskies 43-31.

but the big story tonight,
the continuing poor play
of kenny tyler...

with no points on no attempts.

hey, health food.
All right !

mikulski,
you're not eating ?

no, I can't eat anymore
when I watch these guys.
They make me sick.

i feel like I'm wasting away.
[ burping,
flatulence sounds ]

okay, guys.
We're down 12,
but we don't stink.

that's an improvement,
all right ?

move 'em around on offense.
Move the basketball, okay ?

come on. Dawgs up here.
[ nichols ]
hands in.

[ kenny ]
one, two, three !
[ together ] go.

- hey, kenny. Kenny.
- Yeah ?

you okay ?
Yeah. Why ?

if you get open,
take the damn shot.
All right.

okay ?
Yeah.

[ antoine whispering ]
and if you're not open,
who ya gonna pass it to ?

hey !
Lowell's 10-foot fadeaway,
and that'll drop off the rim.

he'll bring it up.
Let's see if tyler
will finally take a shot...

tyler stops,
calls the play.
Get open !

[ antoine ]
anything can happen.

tyler turns,
and he's gonna pass.
[ antoine ] nice pass.

outside the three-point arc
to o'grady.

o'grady for three !
And the huskies...

good pass !
Light up with tyler
taking the lead.

[ laughs ]
what the hell ?

cal's horning now
will bring it back.
Tyler tries to run him down.

he'll dish it off to byron.
Byron, easy ten footer.

got it. Nope !
He didn't. It's in and out.
What a heartbreak.

tyler with a rebound
over to o'grady.

what kind of shot was that ?

o'grady across the time line.
He puts the move on faby.

serves up the no-look pass,
and major with a slam !

and it's dawgs up !
Well, well, well !

the huskies are back.
They're on fire.

that's five unanswered
points by the huskies,
and they're back in the game.

[ ernie ]
okay, fill me in, bernie.

eight seconds left in the game.
Huskies, 72. Bears, 73.
Bears up by one.

that makes the huskies
down by one.

[ announcer ] cal inbounds
the ball. Over to jackson.
Eight seconds and counting.

the huskies need a turnover,
or they can kiss
the postseason good-bye.

jackson on the pass.
Over to stevens.
Stevens, top of the key...

- with five, four--
- Open ! open !

and whoa ! Hello !

[ antoine ]

that ball came out of there
like a greased pig.

[ o'grady ]
kenny ! Kenny !

on the move now.
Ahead to tyler.
Malik !

a chest pass for major.
And that ball loops up to
the basket, and it goes in !

[ buzzer buzzing ]
nice shot ! See that ?

i'm tellin' ya,
dawgs up, baby !

75-73 ! The huskies win !

kenny tyler with a knuckleball
three pointer from half-court !

this is one for
the highlight reels.

this is one to remember !

are you kidding ?
Here comes a bonus
right now.

kenny tyler, folks.
Kenny tyler. Wow !

kenny, 18 points,
nine assists and a wild
and wacky second half.

oh, the easy two
would have sealed the game,
but you went for the three.

were you trying to send
the basketball world
a message, kenny ?

i was dribbling downcourt,
and I saw malik cut--

cut to the hair--
I mean, to the hole.

kenny ?
Well--

kenny ?
Huh ?

i'll be at
the barking dog.
Yeah.

a nervous breakdown,
but I'm gonna be all right.

i'm gonna go home.
I'm gonna get me some sleep.

I'm buggin'.

She's gonna be so happy.
Kenny.

That's not the way it works.

Because you called me.

All the way.

I don't know, bernie.

in a must-win situation...
Right.

to clinch their place in
the pac-10 and a wild card berth
in the n.c.a.a. Tourney.

tonight is huge.
It's big. It's humongous.
It's marlon brando.

and it's not gonna be easy.
When the cougars come here
to the dawg house,

they come to play.
And who doesn't,
ernie ?

unless, of course,
the huskies have lady luck
on their side,

it's liable to be the end
of another long, long
disappointing season.

a long, long
disappointing season.
It sure is.

here we go.
Let's huddle.
All right, let's go.

okay, okay, guys.
Here we go.

now, remember,
we just got to play
our game, okay ?

don't let them
dictate the tempo.

all we got to do is put
the biscuit in the basket,

the noodles in the soup,
the cookies in the milk,
the beef in the--

Nervous, kid ?

What's the matter
with you ?

[ bernie ]
start of the second half.
The washington cougars, 37.

u-dub huskies, 34.

That's what it is.

[ announcer ]
lasalle with the rebound.

and over to tyler.
Tyler will bring it up.

hit lik !

tyler shoots it ahead
to major on the wing.

guarded by preston.
He's gonna work the baseline.

Somebody check his feet

he's goin' home for christmas.

and he's up.
Oh, yowza !

Wait a minute. No.

like a seven-foot statue.

preston outside for the three.
It looks good.
Let's see what you got.

nope, it's out.
Try to tip it in.

nope. Not again.
Looks like a popcorn popper
up there.

there must be a little
too much english on that ball.

i think it's got french,
spanish and swahili on it.

[ bernie ]
15 seconds left in the game.

the huskies are up by one.
Washington has the ball.

davidson fakes left,
goes right, leaves tyler faked.
He drives in for an easy slam.

i thought you said
he was goin' left !

well-- well,
he went to our left.
[ babbling ]

and coach pederson's gonna
call a time-out to regroup.

i thought you said
he was goin' left.
He mostly does.

go, dawgs ! Yea, huskies !

it's unbelievable !
There's nothing like
the n.c.a.a. Tournament !

it's the most special,
unbelievable event ! I mean,
the pageantry, the excitement !

it wasn't too awesome for the
huskies in the regular season
match-up with fresno state.

well, coaches pederson
and tarkanian are really ready.

but tarkanian put
the hurt on 'em big time
during the regular season.

blew 'em out by 20 points.
It was an m & m-er, a mismatch.

they're loaded.
They could shoot the trifecta.

they got diaper dandies.
They got prime time players.
They're awesome !

but you know what ?
Pederson better have
his club ready,

or it'll be
embarrassin' city, baby !

so you really like
musicals a lot, huh ?
Oh, you know,

when the showboat appeared,
it was magical.
[ laughing ]

hey, st. John,
how ya doin' ?
Great.

i see you got
all dressed up
for the tournament.

do you like that ?
I like to look nice.

hey, gertz,
why don't you
take a stroll ?

get yourself
a complimentary hot dog.

i'm gonna talk
to our friend here, okay ?
What for ?

i'm shy.
What do you care ?
Just go do it.

today.
While we're young.

so.
So.

you and kenny
pretty close, huh ?

we've talked
a few times.

but that doesn't
mean that--
No, no.

[ laughing ]
no, hey.
Relax, relax.

i know you're both adults,
and, uh,

what you guys do
during recess
is no business of mine.

[ chuckles ]
anyway, the thing is,

there's something
goin' on with this team,

and I have a feeling
that kenny's got something
to do with it.

hmph ! What are you
getting at, mikulski ?

what I'm getting at
is something
you ain't got: a break.

now, if there's
a story here,
and you drop the dime,

you know, it could be
the cover of sporting news.

hmm.

what do I have to do ?

whatever it takes
to get the story.

[ man ]
grab yourself a cold one
and hold onto the armrest,

'cause it's game time.

the huskies
and the bulldogs
set to square off.

hrbacek will tip off
against o'neil
of fresno state.

o'neil, you'll recall,
earlier in the regular season,

involved in an altercation
with kenny tyler...

that resulted
in tyler's ejection.

up and controlled
by hrbacek over to tyler.

he'll bring it up,
guarded by seymour.

hey ! Hey !
Start it off right.

- get a life. Leave me alone.
- Let's go to zigi
for a three-pointer.

zigi can't shoot
no three-pointer.
Just do what I say.

- zig !
- Tyler the dish to hrbacek.

- way outside
the three-point line.
- zigi, shoot it !

he's 0 for 12
outside the arc
this season.

- zigi, what the hell
are you--
- Do it, zigi.

[ announcer ]
zigi for three--
He got it !

- I can't believe it !
Zigi goes downtown !
- Nice shot !

[ speaking serbo-croatian ]
[ speaking gibberish ]

this serb is goin'
long distance.

somebody call m.c.i.
He deserves a discount.

you've been working
with him, right ?
I, uh--

good work, coach.
Thanks.

peabody brings it up,
closely guarded by o'grady.

tark will call the play.
Now it's peabody
over to seymour.

seymour, o'neil on a drive,
and a slam over zigi...
And a foul.

and now tempers flare.
Malik, he's got to watch it.
He'll get a "t."

tyler now steps in
to try to calm things down.
You got a problem ?

yeah, because you're
in my face, white shadow.

you better be careful, punk.
Big brother ain't here
to protect your ass no more.

what ? Punk !
Come on, little girl.

that's bullshit, ref.
I should head-butt you
like dennis rodman.

all right. Easy.
O'neil, known for
his bad-boy ways,

is a regular dennis rodman
in the making,

but tonight he's more like
dennis the menace...

- out there
looking for trouble.
- pour it in, now. pour it in.

hey.

whoo ! Whoo ! Whoo !
[ man ]
you gonna shoot ?

[ announcer ]
he drops back like a
quarterback
and he rifles...

a line drive
off the backboard. Whoa !
[ laughing ]

this ball is sailing,
sailing into the rafters.

somebody call 911.
This boy needs a doctor.

oh, yeah.
That happens on this planet
all the time.

what the hell
are you doin' ?
Get your head in the game.

and o'neil left to ponder
whether he should have been...

trying out for the punt,
pass and kick competition.
It went up and--

huskies by nine now,
as we wind down
here in the first half.

seymour brings it up,
guarded by major.

and o'neil
pushes off on tyler.
Hey, that looks like a foul.

seymour rushes to o'neil
on the wing.
Come on, ref.

leave my brother alone !
And get your thumb
out of my eye !

[ whimpering ]
and o'neil turns it over
on purpose.

this boy has flipped his lid.
Somebody call bellevue
and see if there's a vacancy.

[ clamoring ]
time out.
Time out.

so a major upset--
76, 61.

dick, you and I have seen
a lot of strange games.
This one was wild.

i can't believe it.
I mean, I'm stunned.

i know tarkanian's
gotta be shocked.
Look at the stats, brad !

thirty-six by kenny tyler.
He was super !

i mean, here was a p.t.p.er.
Pederson is on cloud nine.
Tarkanian's cryin'.

they wield some unbelievable
canine magic today,
the huskies.

whoo !
That's it, baby !

all right !
Gimme some !
Yeah !

that's the way
we do it, boy !
A & k all the way.

it felt like old times.
Let's celebrate,
get some grub.

or better yet,
let's go to the cemetery.

see if I can get laid.
I need some action.

that sounds great,
but, uh,

i think I'm gonna
be busy tonight, bro.

oh, come on, kenny, man.
Would you stop--

¶ [ rap: indistinct ]

[ players hooting,
shouting ]

yeah !

aaahh !

¶ baby

¶ [ continues: indistinct ]

[ all shouting ]

yeah !

[ shouting continues ]

¶ [ continues ]

oh, no, I couldn't.
I couldn't.

oh, all right.

¶ [ continues ]

[ shouting continues ]

nichols, get in here !

[ man #1 ]
whoo !

[ man #2 ]
wow !

whoo ! Whoo !
We're goin' to
the tournament !

[ kenny laughing ]
one time, right,
my mom was bein' thrifty,

and she went
to k-mart...

and bought us
these cheap-ass shoes.
Stop.

yo, I swear.
I couldn't tell
the left from the right.

they were like some
ambidextrous shoes.

[ laughing ]
it was hilarious.

oh, man.

oh, god. Antoine.

that's my man.

so.
So.

we were talking
about the game.
Right.

have you been doing
anything special ?

wearing your lucky socks ?
Carrying a rabbit's foot ?

taking anything ?

what do you mean,
"taking anything" ?

[ laughs ]
I've just never...
[ laughs ]

seen a team play
like this before.

it's--

so we gotta
be on something ?

no. I didn't mean
for it to pop out
like that.

oh !
There it is.
That's the headline.

"huskies shootin' up.
Dawgs on dope."

shut up.
You're the only one
that can hear me,
so hear me.

kenny ? Kenny !
Move. Move !

so what are you
tryin' to say ?

i'm just, uh--
I'm just,
uh, uh, uh--

she's babbling.
Ba-a-a-a.
She's stuttering.

why are we-we talking
like this ?

she ain't givin' you
no ass.
No reason.

stop that corny smile.
It's just that
you look so...

[ muffled ]
don't get corny.

stop that !
Beautiful
from this angle.

you ain't got to work
that hard.
And this angle.

you ain't gettin'
no ass.
Would you excuse me ?

I've gotta go
to the bathroom.
There is no rhythm. No rhythm.

look. We've been
through a lot together,

and I love you
more than anything
in this world,

but you've gotta stop
poppin' up all the time,
kenny.

kenny.
Wantin' to play.

i'm on a date.
I can't play with you
right now.

gosh ! Why are you
making this so hard ?

people are starting
to stare at me.

- you know something ?
- Hey !

i have the same problem.

trust me. My problem's
a lot bigger than yours.

oh.

oh, no, wait.
My man !

i'm not talking about--
not that kind
of problem !

you hurt him.
That's not funny.

that man thinks
i'm talking to my piece.

you was having a
conversation with your piece.
Little conversation piece.

ha, ha !
Conversation--

when I'm locked up
in bellevue,
i'm blamin' you, okay ?

ah ! Great.

the food is here.
I am starving.

look, kenny, I didn't mean
to accuse you of anything.

girl, stop it.
We cool.
Don't worry about it.

you have to admit,
there's been a lot
of weird--
Weird ? Nah.

i didn't notice
anything weird happening.
You're trippin'.

whoa ! It's not
just for steak anymore.

steak sauce.
Mmm.

steak sauce.
[ grunts ]
oh.

yes. Yeah.
Mm, mm, mm. I love me
some steak sauce.

[ grunts, laughs ]

on salmon ?

oh, yeah.
It gives it that nice,
zesty, tangy flavor.

oh, that's
gonna be good.
Enjoy.

mm. Mm, mm, mm.

ooh ! Gets ya

gets you right back
in the throat ?
[ gagging ]

[ gagging ]

[ chuckles ]

Need some water ?

slow, slow, slow.
Drink !

[ gasping ]

- thirsty ?
- [ belching ]
yeah.

yes. Yes.
Sexy.

sorry.
I'm just so,
so hungry.

would you like
some zesty salmon ?

y-you sure ?

so, I...

had an interesting time
tonight.

well, I had a pretty
interesting time
myself.

that's me.

oh.
[ chuckles ]

it's late.
[ chuckles ]

[ clears throat ]

[ clears throat ]

no. No, no, no.
[ gagging ]

put that--
Put that thing...

back in your mouth.
[ gasps ]

m-maybe, um--
Maybe we're rushing things
a little bit.

[ strangled ]
yeah. Maybe we're
rushing things a little bit.

[ chuckles ]
maybe we are...

so embarrassing.
Rushing things
a little bit.

yeah.

now, take it easy.
[ grunts ]

uh--
[ grunts, laughs ]

[ grunts, laughs ]

[ laughing ]

what was that ?

- it was stupid
and embarrassing.
- I like to kiss on the move.

oh, really ?
[ laughs ]

[ whispering ]
it's freaky.
Oh, okay.

it'll take
some getting used to.

um--

[ laughs ]

okay, I think
I better go.

oh, okay.
Yeah. O-okay.

all right.
Okay.
All right. Okay. Yeah.

- bye.
- Bye.

what's wrong
with you, man ?
What's wrong with you ?

you mind
your business, man.
You mind your business.

you ain't have
no right doing that.
I don't want to hear it.

stupid.
Hey, mind your business.
Mind your business.

you ain't got business
telling me what to do.
Kenny.

kenny, what's going on ?
Hey, coach.

who ya talking to ?
Uh--

kenny.
If you talk to him,
he'll boot your ass--

shut up.
I'm your coach.
Don't talk to me that way.

if you don't want me,
you shouldn't have called.
I'm sorry I did.

all right, then.
I accept your apology.

- if you want me gone,
i'm gone.
- Good.

kenny, I'm not trying
to come down on you.
I'm trying to help you.

fuck it.
I'm gone.
Good.

i'm gone.
Good.

kenny ?
You're gonna be sorry.
You need me.

what you doin' ?
You ain't gonna
catch shit.

[ yells ]
stupid frenchman.
Get on my nerves.

kenny ?
Yo.

just tell me
what's going on here.

trust me, coach. You--
You wouldn't understand.

antoine ?

ant, I just want to say
i'm sorry.

i didn't mean it, man.

you know that, right ?

i know you didn't mean it.

- crybaby.
- [ laughs ]

¶ very superstitious

[ brad ]
the storm clouds
continue to brew...

from the great northwest.

what a story this has become
for the u.w. Huskies.

their little guy,
danny o'grady, elevates
his game to a new level.

so does his team
as coach pederson's squad...

upsets dean smith's
north carolina tar heels,

sends the heels back
to chapel hill,

and for the huskies now it's
on to the sweet sixteen.

o'grady brings it up,
into the front court.

the dish,
zigi on the drive.

and the lay-in.
Hrbacek's got 15.

ow !
ow !
Ow !

ow !
ow !
Ow !

[ dick ]
unbelievable !
A street brawl took place.

the arkansas razorbacks
cut themselves to shreds.

three of their five starters
were ejected for fighting
with themselves !

how wacky can ya get ?

and their coach,
nolan richardson,
was sent to the showers,

allowing the u.w. Huskies
to march on
to the great eight.

husky hysteria
is goin' wild !

[ brad ]
so the clock stopped.
3:20 remaining in the ball
game.

70, 63,
the huskies, dick,
and they're clinging...

to that seven-point
advantage.
Pitino gets a t.o.

it's maalox-mashing time
for both coaches.

pitino's talkin' to his team.
"we gotta speed up
the tempo of the game."

pederson says,
"we gotta spread out
and slow it down."

danny and kenny,
you keep that ball
on the perimeter.

and guys,
use the clock.
Use that clock.

all right ?
Come on. Let's go !
Here we go !

one, two, three.
[ all chanting ]
woof ! Woof ! Woof !

[ brad ]
u.w. Huskies' ball
as they break the huddle.

let's look for major
to be the trigger man
on the inbound.

kirk will step up
and force the press.

wildcats in desperate need
of a turnover.

major in to o'grady.

and the little guy
will bring it up
for the dawgs,

and marlowe covers him
stride for stride
on the way up court.

four corners !
Work the clock, guys !
Work it ! Work it !

[ brad ]
o'grady taking his time,
working that clock...

now cross-courts it
to tyler.

hey, throw an alley-oop
to luther.
Coach said milk the clock.

coach, my ass !
Just do what I said !
I'm running this team !

[ brad ]
look for tyler to try to run...
Luther !

a four-corner,
slowdown offense.
I got it ! I got it !

he tossed an alley-oop
to lasalle.
A slam !

but lasalle steamrolls kirk
in the process,

[ blows whistle ]
and that is a foul.

charging call
on lasalle, dick,
and that's number five.

wow ! He's their big star,
goes to the sideline
on a charge !

[ all shouting ]
looks like they're gonna
have to go...

with jimmy stubbs.
Who ? Jimmy who ?

come on. Move it !
Move it ! Let's go !
Let's go !

let's go.
Let's go.

damn it, luther.
You call that
using the clock ?

no, coach, but--
Four fouls. You get called
for a charge ? Sit down !

- coach !
- Sit down.

[ pederson ]
jimmy !
Huh ?

you're going in.
Who, me ?

thank you very much.
You will not be
disappointed.

always looking out
for a brother.
[ whispering ]

let's hear a new yell !

lu, man, I want
to say I'm sorry--
Get off me !

and tell your damn brother
to get off me too.

whoo !
Did you see that ?

boy, did you see me ?
Did you see that ?

it was like old times.
Did you see how high
I was ?

i ain't in the mood.
Leave me alone.
What ?

you buggin', man.
You goin' too far.

i'm goin'
to the final four, son.

i don't know
where you're goin'.

[ brad ]
well, another husky shocker.
Can you believe it ?

90, 71.
A 19-point win over kentucky.

[ people chattering ]

excuse me.
Kenny !

excuse me, baby.

don't eat the cake
'til I get back.

kenny ?

where you at, murphy ?
Whoo !

[ mom ]
nice shot. Two.

hey !
Hey, what's up, ma ?

whoo !
I remember when you made
that foul line.

- [ kenny laughs ]
- I bought the paint.

you got sick
of us drawing it
with your lipstick.

i, uh,

caught myself trying
to die a little
with antoine.

oh, mama.
But you wouldn't
let me.

i watch you out there,

alive, and playing, and--

oh, god. It's almost
like he's right there
beside you.

well--
Honey,

i don't know what's
gonna happen in new york,
and I don't care.

i just want to say
thank you, baby.

i just wish
your daddy was here.

oh ! He would be
so proud...

of you.
Mama.

[ mom ]
who's your big girl ?

[ kenny ]
you are.

you better
believe it.
[ laughs ]

[ mom ]
let's go on inside.
Uncle jake's here to see you.

[ kenny ]
oh, no. Not uncle jake !

that man ain't got no teeth,
and he always wants
something to eat.

[ brad on television ]
look for tyler now
to run a four-corner offense.

he looks inside--
[ phone ringing ]

yeah.
[ mikulski ]
never eat a pizza
after a burrito.

what do you want,
mikulski ?

did you talk
to him ?
Yeah, I talked to him.

what did you find out ?
There's nothing
to find out.

what do you mean--
I gotta get
back to this,

so if you don't mind,
just leave me--

[ mikulski ]
hello ?
r.c., are you there ?

did you hang up ?
Alone.

listen to me.
[ beeps ]

[ brad ]
lasalle steamrolls kirk
in the process.

luther,
you didn't even--
Lasalle, with a slam !

lasalle steamrolls kirk--
You didn't even
touch the ball.

[ brad ]
it's 70, 63. Huskies now,

and you have to wonder
what lasalle
was thinking about.

have to wonder what
lasalle was thinking about.

[ r.c. ]
"tell me what--"

"tell your damn brother
to get off me" ?

[ gasps ]

[ knocking ]

- yeah ?
- Hey, what's up, kenny ?

what's up, dawg ?
What's poppin' ?

is it cool we...
Talk for a minute ?
Is it cool I come in ?

- yeah. Come on.
- [ all talking ]

i said "we,"
I meant the team.

damn.
Is he here ?

- is antoine here ?
- Yeah. He's in the shower.

dead people usually
don't take showers, kenny.

and how many dead people
do you know, zigi ?

not too many.
All right, then.

what's up ?
What y'all want
to talk about ?

tell him.
Come on.
It-- it's antoine.

- yeah ? What about him ?
- We don't want to play
with him anymore.

just tell him to chill.
Maybe come sit on the bench
with me, or something.

personally, I'm averaging
18 points a game since
he's come back,

so I really don't
give a shit, all right ?

look, look, look, look, look.
He's a ball hog.

he was when he was alive,
and no disrespect,

he's even worse
as a dead man.

- [ doorknob clicks ]
- [ all gasp ]

he didn't hear us,
did he ?

hmm ?
Huh ?

[ whispering ]
I think it's him.
Me too.

I've still got
that embalming fluid
in my ears.

- [ whispering ]
- what's this ? Looks like
some kind of lynch mob.

- go ahead. Tell him.
- You tell him, luther.
You tell him.

tell me what ?
What are they talking
about, kenny ?

i ain't tellin' him.
You tell him, jimmy.
It was your idea.

you're lying through
the space in your teeth.
Now say something.

talk to me, kenny.

they want you
off the team, man.

off the team ?
Me-- you want me
off the team ?

let me tell you something !
You don't tell me shit !

you don't tell me shit !

- none of you !
- Antoine, chill !

- shut up !
- Uh-oh.

i think
we pissed him off.
Yeah.

hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

it's-- look,
it's nothin' personal.

- nothin' personal ?
- [ kenny ]
don't throw that chair !

nothin' personal ?
Nothin' personal ?

[ gasping ]

i raised all your games
to another level !
Me ! I did that !

you on tv.
You gettin' scouted.

zigi, you might
go lottery.
I got that for you.

and this is
the thanks I get ?
You make me sick.

antoine, if they don't
want you to use them,
use me.

i can see it now.
Twenty-two assists,

34 points
and 10 boards.

together we can win
tournament m.v.p.
Sounds good.

man, shut up,
malik.
I'm trying to go pro.

kenny, I never
wanted to die.

i had things
I wanted to do.
I had plans.

i know, man.

if you want me to go,
you just tell me,

and I'm gone.

[ sighs ]
jimmy, this is
my brother and, uh,

if he wants to stay,
then he stays.

we're gonna play
some ball tonight !
Let's go, huskies !

r.c. ! R.c. !

hey !

where you been ?
I've been looking
for you.

you wasn't
at the banquet
last night...

or at the conference
this morning.

where you at ?
Sorry.
I've been busy.

oh. Been writin' ?
Yes ! Writing.
Look, I have to go.

no, wait, r.c. I-i--
I gotta talk to you.
It's really important.

it's kind of difficult
for me to say.

you don't have to--
No. I-I need to.

sometimes things happen
that are bigger than us.

things that we
really can't explain.

things that make
absolutely no
rational sense.

kenny, you don't--
Really--

i know this sounds crazy,
believe me, but--

it's about antoine.

he's here.
[ pederson ]
come on, kenny.

team meeting.
Let's go.

sweetie, you gotta
believe me, okay ?
kenny, come on.

okay.

coming, coach.

hmm.

[ mikulski ]
it's a great hotel. It's got
hot water between 7:00, 7:30.

there she is.
You looking for me ?

yes. I wrote
this piece that--

r.c., this is
david gallagher,
sporting news.

ron hammer, the boston globe.
Hi. It's nice meeting
you gentlemen.

i wanted
to talk to you--

gentlemen, keep an eye
on this girl.
She has the drive.

you know, I think
she'd sell her own mother
for a good story.

[ men laughing ]
so, what do you got
for me ?

- you ready to win
that pulitzer ?
- Not just yet, anyway.

uh, got a little bit
more work to do on it.

it was nice meeting
you gentlemen.

wait, wait.
Where you goin' ?

come on. Come on !

aw, I don't know.

must be
my personality.

there goes the story
of the year.

[ brad ]
welcome to the meadowlands,

home of the n.c.a.a.
Championship;

home of college basketball's
highest honor.

and home of all the pageantry
and excitement that is
the final four.

[ crowd cheering ]

[ brad ] we kick off
the festivities with u-dub's
harry the husky.

and harry's gonna get set
for his patented slam dunk.

and I say "get set"
because the stat sheet
doesn't look good:

0 for 16 on the season
for harry.

so, folks, this could get
a little bit ugly.
Harry's ready, though.

i'm goin' downtown !
And he calls his shot,

a la babe ruth.
Here we go !

- whoa !
- Damn dawg !

ahhh !

- whoa !
- [ brad ]
oh, he got it !

ya-hoo ! Whoo-hoo !
Did you guys see that ?
[ crowd cheering ]

thank you.
Thank you.

whoo-hoo ! Whoo !
Whoo ! Whoo !

it's gonna be a long night
for the huskies unless
they can find someone...

to put those defensive
handcuffs on georgetown's
jerrod smith.

george, when you got
a six-foot, five-inch
point guard...

that can go in the paint
and shoot the three,

it's an impossible match-up
on the college level.

i don't think the huskies
have another upset
in them tonight.

- kenny tyler.
- The infamous jerrod smith.
What's up, baby ?

how you feelin', man ?
I'm good, man.
I'm really good.

hey, man, I'm really sorry
to hear about your brother.

- oh, thanks, man.
Appreciate that.
- Wish he was here.

yeah. Me too.

hey, well, man,
you get over there
and tell your team about me.

come on, man.
Better tell your team
about me.

all right.
You better look up.
We're gonna get that air.

[ brad ]
smith brings it up,
over to douglas,

pass ! Pass !
Back over to smith.

- get on him !
- now smith on the drive.
A 15-footer. got it !

and that's 22 for smith,
here in the first half alone.

that's 40, 32, hoyas,
as they roll on,
led by jerrod smith.

come on, you guys.
Double-team smith !
Double-team smith !

- jerrod moves inside,
covered by tyler.
- get the ball, kenny.

- major now steps up
to try to help.
- get the ball !

- oh, he's got the lane.
- Help out, malik.

[ yelling,
laughing ]

- smith for two more.
Thirty-two tonight.
- Damn !

- [ shouting ]
- what are y'all doin' ?

o'grady will try to guard him.
Nobody else has been able to.

tyler, in a double-team.
Jerrod passes inside.

gruca, the no-look to burgos
on the baseline.
Easy deuce.

they call a double-team
on jerrod, and he hurts them
in other ways.

jerrod on the dribble.
Yo, man, play good,
solid "d."

watch him, kenny.
He's going left !

[ yelling ]
slam, bam, thank you, ma'am.

this guy is amazing !
You want me
to handle it ?

you want me
to do it my way ?

'cause I'll take care
of him. He ain't shit !

sh-- man !

o'grady now,
across the time line.

he runs into
a hoyas double-team.
Pass over to tyler.

not a good one !
Intercepted by smith !
Smith on the right !

[ groaning ]

[ gasping ]

- smith is down,
and he's injured.
- what you doin', man ?

coach thompson
and the trainers
are called in.

and man, you hate to see
this kind of injury
in a game of this magnitude.

my shoulder, coach.
Jerrod, what's wrong ?

my shoulder.
Just be careful.
Take your time.

stay there.
Stay there.

[ brad ]
and the heavily favored hoyas
lose to u-dub, 78-65.

and now, the huskies move on
to the big show.

- kenny.
- Hey !

what's up, r.c. ?
How ya doin' ?

how is he ?

i don't know.
He's been in surgery
for over an hour.

i know he got
a broken collarbone.
Concussion too.

yeah.

i hope he's all right.
God. Tsk.

[ sighs ]
yeah.

so tell him to stop.
It's no use, r.c.
He ain't gonna listen to me.

he never listens
to me.

he's the older brother.
He calls the shots.

kenny, look at yourself.

antoine is dead,
and he's still
running your life.

you don't know what
you're talking about.
You don't know us.

you don't know what it's like
trying to live my life
without my brother.

stupid--

no, I don't know
what it's like.

and neither will you
until you let him go.

antoine !

yo, antoine.

antoine.

antoine, I know
you in here.

yeah, I'm here.

you always did like
being the first one
in the locker room.

that's only because
I was always
so nervous, kid.

you were ?
Yeah, man.

i'd come
into the locker room,
see all these jerseys hangin',

and I'd find the one
with my name on it.

i would just sit down,
stare at it,

wondering if I could
go out there and lay some up
one more time,

and live up to the hype.

damn. I didn't know
you were scared.

baby brother,
I played scared
every game of my life,

wondering how I would do,
what people would think.

but I'll tell you something.
I'm not scared no more.

no, sir.
This is one game
I am going to enjoy.

yeah, well, uh,

you're gonna
have to enjoy it
from the bench, ant.

what are you saying ?

wait a minute, kenny.
If this is about jerrod smith,
that was an accident.

ant. Ant. Ant !
I'm your brother.
You know me better than that !

i didn't mean to hurt him.
Antoine, look.
You got us here.

no doubt about it, man.
Without you, we'd be
watching this on tv.

exactly.

kid, this is cheating.
It's wrong.

i'm sorry, ant.
You can't play, man.

oh, please.
I'm playinkenny.

you're gonna
be playing alone.

kenny, think about it.
N.c.a.a. Title.
One more game.

it's what we always
dreamed about, me and you.

since we was kids
we've been partners.

antoine, we ain't
never been partners, man.

I've been your sidekick
for over 20 years, kid.

and I was happy
to be that, but I can't
do it no more.

i just can't do it.

now, if you step
on that court tonight,
it's over.

what are you gonna do ?
How are you gonna
stop me, huh ?

[ door opens,
footfalls approach ]

we'll walk.

we'll just forfeit.

you will lose
without me.

then we'll just lose.

[ sharp grunt ]

[ wind howling ]

[ man ]

[ announcer ]
welcome to the n.c.a.a.
National championship.

come on. Get in here, guys.
Listen up, now. Listen up.
Come on, come on.

you know,
when I was a kid,

i played in the biggest
basketball game of my life.

it was
the wilmington, delaware,
youth league championship,

and the winning prize
was a shiny gold medal.

well, you know,
we should have won that game,

but we didn't,
and I always felt...

that if I had played
just a little bit better,

you know, if I had really
played my guts out,

that we would have won,
and I would have
won that medal.

well, now, this is the--

this is the biggest game
of your lives,

and it's
just you guys,
two orange hoops,

94 feet of hardwood.

so go out there
and play the very best
that you can...

and really play
your guts out.

and believe me,
you will have no regrets,

and you will win
your medal.

just go out there
and play the game
that you love.

come on !
Let's go, let's go !

[ all ]
woof ! Woof ! Woof !

[ brad ]
and the huskies take the floor,
led by kenny tyler,

who's assumed leadership
of this team following
the tragic loss...

of his brother antoine
earlier this year.

but the u-mass minutemen,
they're the perennial
favorites.

they come into the tournament
the number-one seed...

and with
the number-one ranking
in all of college basketball.

don't want to look
for any upsets here.

three future n.b.a. Stars
on this club:

six-five point guard
rudy olivera, six-nine
power forward j.j. Sampson...

and six-ten forward
mark tucker.

i don't even think
lady luck can help
the huskies tonight.

hrbacek and sampson
to jump center.

and it's controlled by u-mass,
over to olivera.

push the ball, olivera !
Push the ball !

sampson, down low.
Now the no-look.
Moore in the paint.

a finger roll,
and the early lead
goes to u-mass.

slow it down !
Give me two !
Give me two !

- tyler to o'grady.
- hustle up, danny !

dish back to tyler.
Tyler with a look and a shot,
way off the mark.

[ groaning ]

for the minutemen.
Cross-courts it to sampson,
out to olivera.

breakaway, easy deuce.
And the huskies are still
having trouble getting started.

we're midway through the half.
U-mass leads, 20 to 8.

back the other way.
The dish outside.

moore, top of the key.
Got it !

nothin' but the bottom
of the net, and the huskies
are down 14.

- [ shouting ]
- yeah, baby !

major has a look and sets.
He'll take the three,
and he got it !

the husky fans cheer
their underdog u-dub squad
for that three,

but it's hardly enough
to send the minutemen packing.

- bounce pass down
to the baseline to moore.
- Look alive ! look alive !

to tucker.
Tucker tosses to olivera.

got a pick.
Backdoor lob and sampson
finishes that one off.

u-mass just too strong tonight
for the huskies,

as they pull
to a 14-point advantage...

with five minutes to go
in the half.

olivera proving
his all-american status
in this half,

and he'll finish it
with two more.

[ george ]
well, u-mass leads 42 to 22
at halftime, billy,

and I guess the $64,000
question right now is,

"has that magic
that brought the huskies
into the final four...

finally abandoned them ?"

oh, man, it's over !

we suck
without big "a," man.
We suck !

[ zigi ]
we are pathetic.

it feels worse
than that.

[ man groans ]

let's be honest.
We never expected them
to get this far.

it's kind of amazing
where they are.

too much talent
down the other end
of the floor.

they're being
outclassed tonight.

fellas, fellas,
the hole's been dug, man.

they're just gonna bury us.

guys ?

we just can't do it
without antoine.

we don't have to, zigi.

man, what are you
saying, kenny ?

i'm saying
I want to win this.

i didn't come this far
to go home empty-handed,
malik.

shut up, man.
You don't know
what you talkin' about.

malik, we are down
20 points, man.

twenty points !
Do you know why ?

i know why.
'cause we suck.

man, that's bull.
We don't suck.
They suck.

it's bullshit, man.
We playin' with no soul.
Yeah, well, I know.

we played that first half
without antoine.

face it.

there's only one way
we gonna get back
in this game.

what-- what you sayin' ?

i'm saying we go back
out on that court, jimmy.

- and we take
antoine with us.
- No. We already agreed--

right here.
Right here, jimmy.

right here.

everything
my brother was,

everything he gave us,

it's all right there.

right here.

right here.

we gotta go out there,
and we gotta--
We gotta shoot with him.

we gotta run with him.
We gotta play with him.

we have to win
with him, malik.

y'all with me ?

all right, man.
Let's go !
We're with you, kenny.

[ danny ]
let's do this !
Let's go all the way !

malik ? Jimmy ?

let's go !
Let's do this !

[ kenny ]
let's go out there
and win this game.

[ all ]
woof ! Woof ! Woof !

[ brad ]
and the huskies have
really hit the floor running...

- they're on a 10-0 run,
and they are fired up.
- yeah, baby, right here !

kenny tyler,
top of the key for three !

kenny tyler is lighting it up
on both ends of the court now.

o'grady looks for someone,
gets it to tyler
on the wing.

tyler drives to the paint.
A 15-footer.
It's good !

kenny tyler's
electrified this crowd.
They're on their feet.

holy smokes, billy.
Kenny tyler is on fire.

- what an incredible
performance
by this young man.
- [ billy ] it really is.

you love to see big players
come up in big games.

that's what kenny's doing.
He's put this team on his back,
and he's carrying them.

[ brad ]
tyler fakes left,
circles in, drives.

jump shot, up,
and it is good !

tyler, bringing the huskies
back in this thing.

- danny, hit lik ! hit lik !
- O'grady, the lob.
Major with a slam !

ladies and gentlemen,
we have a ball game.

- woo-hoo ! Woo-hoo !
- Set up. We comin' back now.

- it's tyler with a ten-footer.
- In, baby ! right here !

tyler, in for two.

major to o'grady.
O'grady back to tyler.

fakes left, goes right.
Fade away. Jump !
He got it !

and the huskies pull
to within 11.

- right here ! right here !
- O'grady over to hrbacek.

way out on the wings.
Skyhook for three !

- and zigi hit it from
downtown for the triple !
- [ billy ] it's the real serb.

that's it,
you american scum.
That's it !

motion, baby, motion !

olivera makes the lay-in
to hold the lead at five.

two minutes. Two minutes,
and we down five, baby.

[ brad ]
kenny tyler cuts it down
to three.

major, in to tyler.
Tyler fakes.

a high archer,
off the glass.
Got it !

and that double brings
the huskies to within two.

[ horn blaring ]
and a time-out call
by the huskies.

the minutemen clinging
to a two-point advantage...

with just 16 seconds
left on the clock.

okay, guys, 16 seconds left
to a national championship.

- we gotta keep tyler
from beating us.
- Kenny, you make this shot.

let's take this one home.
This is it. This is what
we came here for.

okay, dawgs up,
you guys.
Dawgs up ! Dawgs up !

[ all ]
woof ! Woof ! Woof !

[ minutemen ]
u-mass !

and who would have
thought the huskies
would be in this position ?

sixteen seconds on the clock,
a chance at being
a giant-killer...

of the number-one team
in the country.

the huskies will line it up.
The minutemen will use that
tight man-to-man defense.

we have to assume that pederson
made the call to tyler
for the inbound game winner.

moore is all over lasalle.
He doesn't want
a five-second call here.

finally with the inbound.
It's stolen by tucker.

and that is it.
If they can hold on to it,
the championship is theirs.

[ billy ] nine seconds to go.
All u-mass has to do
is to occupy this ball.

[ brad ]
the huskies step up the "d,"
but time is running out.

somebody's got to force
a turnover or a foul here,
or this one's in the books.

o'grady on tucker.
We're down to seven seconds
and counting.

o'grady on him like a pit bull,
trying to make something
happen.

five seconds left.
Someone needs a play here !

- no turnovers, tucker !
- tucker tries to pass
to oliver,

and kenny tyler
gets a hand on it !

- here comes tyler again !
Can you believe it !
- Go ! Go !

come on !

[ billy ]
tyler again ! He's got it !
He goes up !

[ whistle blowing ]

i got it, dude !

ant, no !

[ echoing ]
no, no !

let it go.

[ billy ]
it's good !

yes !

[ all shouting ]

- 66, 65 !
- Oh, my god !

yeah ! Whoo !

yeah !

number one !
Number one !

[ kenny ]
all the way !

No, you did it.

i gotta go
see the coach.

okay ?
Okay.

[ woman ]

Hey !

Antoine !

antoine, wait !
Ant--

No.

do it before.

and you looked good
doin' it too.

i had a good teacher.

yeah.

[ sighs ]
they're calling me.

they want me to play
on the team.

said I might make
the starting five,

if I learn
not to hog the ball.

i love you.

come here, man.
[ choking ]
I love you.

it's okay.
I love you.

bye, antoine.

no, no. No.

no good-byes,
'cause I'll always
be with you.

hey, it's like pop said.

if you and I
stick together--

[ choking ]
anything can happen.

you gonna be
all right, man.

but if you don't
repeat next year,

i'll be back.
[ laughs ]

[ sighs ]
