Abstract

Society embraces sports more than any other phenomenon in media. Yearly, the most watched television programs in the United States are major sporting events. In Indiana, one sport transcends television and history-- basketball. Native Hoosiers worship basketball in cathedrals built with wooden planks and iron rods. At Ball State University, the men's basketball program continues to rebuild itself toward its once proud tradition. Documenting the 2010-11 season drives past the passion and fanaticism of spectators to reveal how the team congealed and dealt with adversity.
