Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
A good concept fails to become a good movie in this predictable tale of corruption in college basketball.

TV Guide
Watching various hoop stars and legends trying to act is cringeworthy, O'Neal particularly bad, but Friedkin's movie, written by sports film specialist Shelton has a lot of passion.

...Gut-wrenching ethical gymnastics [for nonfans]...[and] jocks will delight in the movie's quick-cutting game sequences... -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly
...Realistic touches....The cast is full of real players...
USA Today
A deafness-inducing but otherwise ho-hum would-be expose of shady recruiting practices by college basketball programs.
Variety
Rating: 3.5/5 --
If Mr. Friedkin didn't have to work so strenuously framing two-shots of Mr. Nolte with this seven-foot athlete, it might be hard to remember that Mr. O'Neal has a day job.
New York Times
Not even an unsentimental basketball fan like director William Friedkin can wash away all the corn syrup.
