Imperials fans stormed the court after the team's first ever rivalry win, a 90-88 thriller over the Djibouti Kraken that was capped by a game winning tip-in with 8 seconds remaining. In his post game interview, coach Azariah said, "Obviously, I'm really proud of the guys for battling all 48 minutes, and for the way our reserves stepped up in such an important situation. We're thrilled to have this win, but we're focused on Tuesday and moving on to the next win."
The Imperials fan club has high hopes for the end of the season, and has announced a waiting list for spots on a fan club bus if a potential road playoff game should occur.
