Ryan Parker is the head coach of a small college basketball program located in downtown Milwaukee. He and his players, a roster made up solely of engineering nerds, are poised on having a amazing season. And they know it. Unfortunately, standing in their way is Parker's former assistant and long time nemesis, Chris Gilpatrick. "Gilly" is now the head coach of small power UW-Pardeeville and on a quest for a second straight national championship. A colorful cast of characters surrounds parker, including Dave Madden, his profane assistant coach who keeps Parker on track and focused, Joel Remington, the quiet point guard who lets his play do the talking, Tom Oakley, the gentle giant, who's never full just less hungry and Craig Phillips, the ladies' man, and Ronnie Norris, the young coed who is the love interest in Parker's life. Journey with them as they navigate the twists and turns of a long season, made longer by the college's inept Athletic Director, their numerous road trips, the intense classroom demands and the rival coaches in their conference.The question is, can a group of Hoop Dweebs, overcome the odds that are stacked against them and compete for a national championship?
