Just in time for March Madness
Aliyah Jeune scored 17 points and Angel Jackson added 16, but the USC women lost 65-57 to visiting Arizona, which improved to 13-0 this season.
According to a news release from HBO, when the impact of Title IX was emerging in the 1980s, the “Women of Troy” were able to overcome adversity on and off the court, leading them to national prominence, two NCAA championship titles and a visit to the White House, a first for any women’s college program.
“I’m always drawn to stories about pioneers and this is a quintessential example,” says Bill Simmons, founder of Ringer Films. “The impact of Cheryl’s USC teams was on par with what Julius Erving did with the ABA – they took a sport that wasn’t on the map, reinvented it and paved the way for all the successes that women’s college basketball is enjoying now. And Cheryl was just iconic. I’m so excited that she finally gets her just due in this film.
The documentary includes interviews from players Miller, Cooper, Paula and Pam McGee, Robinson and Windham; USC coaches Sharp and Fred Williams; ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke; women’s coaching legends Sonja Hogg, Geno Auriemma and Kim Mulkey; Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman; Sparks’ Candance Parker; plus UCLA Basketball Hall of Fame inductees Ann Meyers and Reggie Miller.
