COOS BAY - An excited crowd packs Prosper Hall Gym at Southwestern Monday night, to watch the "Trick Hoops and Alley Oops," of the Harlem Wizards.

Back for another year of excitement, the Wizards brought the down the house with their entertaining mix of stunts and athleticism.

Known as one of the greatest basketball show teams to ever "lace it up and let 'em fly," the Wizards travel around the globe bringing smiles to fans.

After a brief introduction of the players, fans got to watch a friendly game of ball between the Wizards and members of Southwestern's basketball team.

The night was sponsored by the Southwestern Associated Student Government Association.

And while it was free, each fan was asked to bring a can of food which went to fill the shelves of the South Coast Food Share Network, a program of Oregon Coast Community Action.
