“I look forward to (Midnight Madness) at the beginning of the season and what kind of different dances people are going to pull out and see what kind of moves guys are going to do,” junior guard Durrell Summers said. “Just seeing the fan turnout is the biggest thing for us, just seeing all the support we’re going to have this year.”

This year’s Midnight Madness theme will be Celebrate the Moment, because of which the men’s team will recognize some of the best moments in program history. The event will feature introductions of both teams, performances by the Spartan Marching Band, MSU cheerleaders and MSU Dance Team, with a men’s basketball team scrimmage to conclude the night.

Like last year, there also will be a dunk contest. Summers, the reigning champion, said he plans on going with the “Celebrate the Moment” theme and honoring perhaps MSU’s greatest dunker — Jason Richardson.

“I might try to do the between the legs off two legs this year, like J-Rich,” Summers said. “The theme is looking back on the past, so I’m going to try to throw out a past dunk. I’m going to try to get his jersey or something.”
