the game’s lead changed 16 times. Barton had a point to prove this
time around. Last year, it had lost in the tourney finale to Winona.
This year, Winona was back and waiting to see if it would face
Barton or Cal State San Bernardino in the final. With 1:06 left in the
game, CSUSB center Ivan Johnson, who finished with a team high 19
points, put the Coyotes up 79-78 when he dropped in a layup and
a free throw. Barton tied the game with a free throw of its own,
and when CSUSB rebounded a missed second free throw with 25
seconds left, the Coyotes stood at the door knocking, again knocking
until the team missed converting on a pick-and-roll. With 1.5
seconds left, Barton guard Anthony Atkinson sank the deciding free
throw, draining CSUSB hopes. Still, some of the “swagger” the team
had lost after playing .500 ball last year had been reclaimed. Winning
was, again, as much an expectation as it was a goal.

Karnig and his wife Marilyn’s influence
has been felt in the San Bernardino
area. Since they arrived at the university
in 1997, the Karnigs have helped renew
the emphasis on partnerships between
the university and the community. These
“teams” often promote economic, social
and cultural development.
