Ted Cruz, Attempting To Make A ‘Hoosiers’ Reference, Calls Basketball Hoop A ‘Ring’ (Video)

Ted Cruz was in Indiana last night, doing a rally in a high school gym where part of the movie “Hoosiers” was filmed.  And he tried to make a reference to a famous scene in the movie, but he botched it because he called the basketball hoop a RING.

He’s trying to reference the scene where Gene Hackman measures height of the rim before the state championship game, and tells the team that their home court has the same measurements.  This settles the team down and helps them focus on basketball.

But seriously?  Basketball RING?!
