In honor of March Madness, here are, according to MovieTickets.com, the results of a poll taken that asked fans what they considered to be the greatest hoops movie ever made.

It’s no surprise that ‘Hoosiers’ is No. 1. But I’d have to pick ‘Hoop Dreams’ as a close second. Anyway, here are the top five according to the poll.

1. Hoosiers (53%)

2. White Men Can’t Jump (28%)

3. The Basketball Diaries (7%)

4. Blue Chips (7%)

5. Hoop Dreams (5%)
