The dashes would be placed as follows: Yesterday's basketball victory -the crowd was ecstatic- gurantees us a chance at the state title. This would be an em dash. Em dashes are the most versatile punctuation mark: They can replace commas, parentheses or colons.

In this case, the dashes have been placed instead of a pair of parentheses. They are less formal than the pair of parentheses but they catch more attention, they are more intrusive and therefore can be used when you want the reader to pay particular attention to the information they include.

They describe the musician, the atmosphere, the music, give us their opinion and feelings about the entire night. We learn that the narrator has managed to remember the lyrics to the song because they were so touched by them.
