Team got knocked out on Friday night? Big East fan who couldn’t afford tickets to the Garden? Trying to pass the time before next week’s women’s championship, but don’t know who to root for this weekend?

We hear you, but every team deserves your support, and every team has its story. In the spirit of the new basketball movie “Semi-Pro,” here are nine America East movies that will warm your heart on tournament weekend. Choose which one you support wisely.

Disclaimer: Movies only loosely based on true stories. Most of this is made up.

“True Grit” (starring the UMBC Retrievers): Musical. It’s your classic underdog story, set to the music of UMBC’s world-class pep band. Laugh as senior transfers Cavell Johnson and Ray Barbosa sing about what life was like in the Colonial Athletic Association. Swoon as Brian Hodges serenades his team about being the man. Cry with joy as Jay Greene croons about overcoming his shortness to become the most dangerous point guard in the conference.

Best scene: “West Side Story”-style rumble where the Retrievers meet up with the Maryland Terrapins and dance-fight.

Climax: The Retrievers win the America East tournament and break out into the largest song and dance the state has ever seen. Then they draw the Terrapins in the first round of the NCAA tournament and beat them too.

“Birds of Play” (starring the Hartford Hawks): Inspirational story. The movie begins with Hartford’s improbable comeback in the 2007 America East play-in game. It then follows the returning players’ desire to win more than a play-in game and finally outshine the Hartford women’s team. But first, those vets must learn to accept the youngsters. Watch as the two groups come together under a second-year head coach, one who truly loves his players. Shake your fist at the women’s team who keeps coming in and stealing the Hawks’ lunches. Morgan Sabia steals the show as the freshman who refuses to back down.

Best scene: A dynamic pre-dawn playground game where the Hawks men beat the Hawks women and finally earn their respect.

Climax: After Sabia and the freshmen dominate all game, it’s up to senior Rich Baker, who would have to be severely injured, maybe in a bar fight, to hit two final free throws and seal the AE championship. He does it, and then gets the girl he has been chasing the whole movie.

“The Good Old Boys” (starring the Albany Great Danes): Buddy comedy. Iowa natives Brett Wilson and Brian Lillis team up with tattooed badass Jon Iati to show they can win without Jamar Wilson, and have fun doing it, at a school once voted No. 1 for partying. It’s “Old School” meets “Dukes of Hazzard” meets “Hoosiers.” Laugh as they try to get into shenanigans without coach Brown finding out.

Best scene: When coach Brown won’t let them practice in uniform so Lillis and Wilson park Brown’s car on top of the arena.

Climax: The players trail at halftime of the AE Championship when Brown tells them they’re nothing without Jamar. Wilson and Lillis tie up their coach √É.√† la “Varsity Blues” and go out and win it without him. Then they party.

“Catamounts IV” (starring the Vermont Catamounts): Sequel. Fans were introduced to Kyle Cieplicki during his freshman season in the inspirational classic “Catamounts” when Cieplicki helped established stars Taylor Coppenrath and T.J. Sorrentine upset the Syracuse Orange in the NCAA tournament. The series has followed Cieplicki’s career, which has featured back-to-back crushing heartbreaks in the AE finals. With Marqus Blakely and his mohawk here to help him, Cieplicki looks to bring his career full circle.

Best scene: During the first round of the tournament, Binghamton’s Minja Kovacevic pulls an Ivan Drago and says he must crush Cieplicki. Cieplicki beats Kovacevic and his squad, then grabs a mic to tell the Binghamton fans that he loves them saying, “If I can change, you can change,” thereby ending Binghamton’s hatred of Vermont.

Climax: Cieplicki returns to the NCAA tournament and gets a parade through downtown Burlington. Coppenrath and Sorrentine are seen in the crowd and make eye contact with Cieplicki as a silent show of approval.

“Coach Broadus” (starring the Binghamton Bearcats): Drama. Kevin Broadus arrives from a big-time school intent on turning around a talented team that wouldn’t play together to bring a championship to a fan base itching for a title. It’s tough at first — players are ready to quit after intense practices, but the hard work pays off and the team becomes closer. Watch the progression of two freshmen: Devon McBride, who becomes a cancer; and Chretien Lukusa, who works hard every day. McBride transfers in an emotional scene that brings the team together, while Lukusa becomes a trusted player who has to hit the big shot.

Best scene: After making the team run suicides around the team gym for two hours, Broadus again asks the team, “Who you play for?” when Mike Gordon finally yells out “Binghamton,” and the team follows its leader and realizes the team is bigger than them.

Climax: After preaching about teamwork all season, Broadus turns to Gordon before the championship and says “We can’t do it without you, Mike.” Gordon hits a halfcourt shot, and Binghamton gets its first title ever.

“Counter Terrier Unit” (starring the Boston Terriers): Action/Basketball movie. After being named the preseason No. 1 team, the Terriers are asked by the president of the United States to become secret agents in the war against terror. The Terriers accept, but at first their games suffer because they are too busy hunting terrorists. They learn to balance basketball and counterterrorism after coach Dennis Wolff’s speech makes them realize that they have responsibility to save both their country and their school.

Best scene: A split-screen showing Corey Lowe taking a last second free throw, while Tyler Morris, who used the cover of an injury to miss the game, defuses a bomb on the other side of town. They complete their tasks with the same amount of time left on their respective clocks.

Climax: The Terriers almost miss the tournament, but they track their No. 1 target to the Binghamton Events Center. They spot him in the crowd, take him out, but get a technical foul for leaving the court. They win anyway. Then they get medals from the president.

“Basketball School” (starring the New Hampshire Wildcats): Rivalry comedy. New Hampshire’s a hockey school. That’s what the Wildcat hockey team tells the basketball team during an early scene, after running the basketball players’ jerseys up a flag pole. A group of players young and old then come together through a series of bonding missions and, of course, pranks on the hockey team to become a stronger unit, and an AE champion.

Best scene: Team jokers Eric Gilchrese and Tyrece Gibbs sneak into the hockey arena and melt the ice before the hockey team’s homecoming game.

Climax: After hitting the game-winning shot in the AE Championship, Wildcat senior Mike Christensen is greeted at halfcourt by the captain of the hockey team. “It’s your school,” the hockey player says, and shakes his hand.

“Air Wolf” (Starring the Stony Brook Seawolves): Family fun. While fishing in the Long Island Sound, a young Stony Brook fan hooks a mystical Sea Wolf, who uses his magic powers to help the Seawolves win games. The kid becomes Steve Pikiell’s assistant and advises him on whom to play based on whom the Sea Wolf is helping that day. Watch the conflict as the players deal with their new super ability, try not to get too cocky and smile at the adorable relationship between the Sea Wolf, which takes the young Stony Brook fan on a journey through land, sea and air. Yes, the Sea Wolf can fly.

Best scene: In an early-season game when the Sea Wolf ties an Albany players shoe laces together, allowing Ricky Lucas to steal the ball and go end to end for a last second layup and the victory.

Climax: The Sea Wolf reveals that he can’t help the team win championships and that he is dying. The team wins without the Wolf’s magic, proving they had it all along, while the young child learns a valuable lesson about life and death.

“Maine Kids” (Starring the Maine Black Bears): Bonding movie. A bunch of high school rivals, including Troy Barnies and Sean McNally, freshmen who competed for Maine’s Mr. Basketball the season before, come together and put aside their differences to lead their home state to the promised land. A lot of fighting early on, but a lot of hugging and high fives in the end. Fun all around.

Best scene: When the team bus gets stuck in a freak Maine snow storm, and the Black Bears take refuge in a cabin where the team bonds and sings “Don’t Stop Believing” on karaoke.

Climax: One of the Maine kids is called a sellout for siding with someone who was his rival in high school. He thinks about leaving the team, but shows up at halftime of the championship game and helps the team win.
