We just knocked off one of the best teams on our schedule, and I don't even think we played our best game. We didn't give up. We could have given up. We had plenty of chances to give up. We led for (the last) nine seconds of the game, and that's all that matters.
More Quotes from Rick Gibson:
That's a weapon. They don't run it as much these days to just hold the ball, it's more of an offense -- and that's a tough offense. You give them the lead going into the fourth quarter ... a six-point lead is like 15 against a lot of teams.Rick Gibson
He's had two monster games against us. We're going to hopefully show him a little something different (defensively).

We couldn't buy a shot in that second quarter. You have to credit their defense. Their defense is tough. Part of it was them and part of it was that we turned the ball over. The kids got urgent. We got down, and all of a sudden, we thought we'd make up 15 points on one possession, and that's not going to happen.

We beat them by 20 last time. But they are a totally different team than they were then.
Rick Gibson
We've played Carbondale and East St. Louis, and if they played 10 times, they might go 5-5. When you look at the teams that are left, East St. Louis is playing as well as anybody.
Rick Gibson
I know the kids aren't going to give up, and they didn't. They're competitors, and they're going to compete. It's just we can't dig ourselves a 17-point hole in the first half and beat teams like Alton.
