Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"We shot about as bad as we can shoot it today. Credit to Vanguard who played great defense today. I need to do a better job preparing our guys."
"Against a team that defends and plays as hard as they do, we need to be much more patient then we have been. With better execution and better shot selection, I think we will see the ball go in quite a bit more often. I'm confident we will respond and learn from it as we have all season."
Up Next
Next week, the Firestorm will return to California to meet up with Life Pacific and Hope International. Their game against the Warriors will be on Thursday at 8:30 (Arizona)/ 7:30 pm (Pacific).
