Men and women’s basketball warmed up for the crowd just as they would before a game except with a little more “swag” as the kids say. Members of the men’s team began to throw National Basketball Associa- tion (NBA) quality slam dunks, which acted as a showcase of skills and talents for family, friends and students to enjoy before the team was introduced. Women’s head basketball coach Re- nee Jimenez, ready for her second season with the Coyotes, enthusiastically introduced her team to the crowd. Assistant coach Robert Tossetti introduced the men’s team. In their introduction, we learned a little something about every player. Most notably Tossetti said, “This player wishes he was a baby dolphin, sophomore Everett Turner.” Throughout the evening, the crowd was involved in multiple basketball games such as the game known as “Knockout,” which the participants stand in a line attempting to make their shot before the person in front of them, if successful the individual is knocked out. Members of both teams grabbed people from the audience to compete in additional games such as three-point contest, free-throw contest and lastly a half-court shot contest. Sadly, not many CSUSB students attended Midnight Madness, which led to little support for the basketball teams. However, there were plenty of family, friends and other Coyote athletes in attendance. Supporting the home team is huge and has been known to take teams from good to great, which Dunlap and Gug- liotta agree is something the Coyote women and men hope will continue to grow from this point on. Entertainment and Sports Program- ing Network (ESPN) and Snapchat recently showed and promoted Kentucky University’s Midnight Madness and created mass social media trends along the way. We’ll probably never get Drake to come and shoot an air-ball for our amusement, but students should come and support regardless.
