1. The Graduate

   The Graduate is a 1967 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Mike Nichols and written by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham, based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Charles Webb, who wrote it shortly after graduating from Williams College. The film tells the story of 21-year-old Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), a recent college graduate with no well-defined aim in life, who is seduced by an older married woman, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), but then falls for her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross). The Graduate was released on December 21, 1967, to critical and commercial success, grossing $104.9 million, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1967 worldwide. Adjusted for inflation (as of 2021), the film's gross is $857 million, making it the 23rd highest-ever grossing film in North America with inflation taken into account. It received seven nominations at the 40th Academy Awards including for the Best Picture and won Best Director. In 1996, The Graduate was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It is ranked by the American Film Institute as the 17th greatest American film of all time.

   I think we really built some foundational pieces this year that are really going to serve us well moving forward. Extremely proud of the guys. Extremely proud of the coaching staff, we ran into a really good team tonight that was just a little bit too much for us. Houston stretched its lead to 10 points three different times before halftime. The Wildcats missed seven of their first eight shots, and trailed by double digits for the first time after Houston scored seven points in a 57-second span for a 14-4 lead. That quick spurt included Shead getting a rebound to start a fastbreak that ended with his pass to Ramon Walker Jr. in the left corner for an open 3, and a driving layup by Edwards after a turnover. Taze Moore, a graduate transfer, had a career-high 21 points in Houston’s second-round win over Illinois, but Taze Moore early 3 to make it 5-0 Houston in the first two minutes was all Taze Moore ’d score against The Wildcats. Taze Moore committed Taze Moore third personal foul with 9:22 left and played only 17 minutes overall.
