John Imlah Quotations

We wanted to win the last three games to stay in pace with Dayton. They got third place locked up. We have fourth place pretty well locked up.

Our post players have been playing a lot better.

Our goal coming into this season was to get to the playoffs after only winning three games last year. So we've reached one of our goals. Now we just want to keep it going.

Justin played a good solid game. Justin comes to play every night. Sometimes you can question his decisions, but you can never question his effort or his enthusiasm for the game. I enjoy watching him play.

That was a huge swing, those two steals. That was a game-turner. We were hanging right in there and they got the momentum after that. We kept clawing at them, we just could never get there.

We played a very good game for about 29 minutes. In the last three minutes, we had four costly turnovers. We had a nine-point lead with 3 minutes left. I know they had a three-point play and hit a 3-point shot. We missed a couple of shots and that turned it around for them. We played a good game though.

We get Justin (Hubbard) back tomorrow night. That will help the kids out, too. The kids played well in his absence. They did a fine job without him.

Tyson had both his 3s in the third quarter and so did Derek. Those were big plays for us to maintain our lead. It came down right to the wire. We got the last rebound and our defense was real good the last two minutes. I don't think they scored in the last two minutes.

We go to OES and that's a big game for us. Those are the games we have to win to stay ahead of Dayton. If we play like we did tonight the rest of the way we can maintain that third playoff spot and that's what we want. We want that home playoff game.

A couple things at the end could have went either way for us.

That third quarter just killed us. We didn't score any points in the third quarter and we dug ourselves a little bit of a hole, but we clawed back in it.
