Quantum Hoops

When filming began on "Quantum Hoops," a documentary on the Caltech men's basketball team's unique ability to blend winning academics with losing athletics, Caltech had lost 230 consecutive California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference games.

When the movie premiered in November, that streak had reached 259 games. And when the DVD is released today, it will stand at 271.

Maybe by the time of the film's silver anniversary in 2032, Caltech will no longer be clinging to that victory over LaVerne in 1985 -- the school's last in a conference game.
