QU won a pair of games against NCAA Tournament teams, went 9-4 in Hamden, and defeated each MAAC opponent during the regular season to earn the No. 3 seed in the postseason league tournament.

Imhotep was crowned PUAA State Champions six times under Sutton (2011, 2012, 2013, 2017, 2018, & 2019). He helped guide the Panthers to a record of 88-9 from 2017-19.
