KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind. – Republican Ted Cruz tried to attain out to Hoosier voters Tuesday through invoking the movie "Hoosiers," but what he mentioned certainly had a strange ring to it.
Cruz attempted to recreate the iconic scene from the film where teach Norman Dale (performed by way of Gene Hackman) tells avid gamers to measure the space between the rim and the gym ground with a tape measure.
The respectable news: it measured at ten feet, as it may still have.
The dangerous news? Cruz known as it a "basketball ring."
"You be aware of, the unbelievable factor is that basketball ring here in Indiana, it's the equal peak because it is in manhattan metropolis and every other vicinity in the country," Cruz mentioned.
however hiya, that you may't blame him for making an attempt. Basketball and "Hoosiers" are inextricably linked to Indiana. Cruz's rival, Donald Trump, is even acting with legendary former IU basketball train Bob Knight during a crusade experience Wednesday.
As for the basketball ring gaffe, Twitter had a container day:

Did Ted Cruz just call it a basketball ring? In Indiana? Is he going to say he's eager for seeing the NASCARs run the Indy 500 next
