Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"We had some nice stretches at both ends of the court. We had some chances to open up the game but were a little impatient on offense and turned it over too much in the last nine minutes. We have some work to do on closing out games."
Up Next
On just Thursday, the Firestorm had scheduled a game with Wayland Baptist for Monday, but that game was canceled due to COVID. So the next game for ACU will be at SAGU American Indian in Phoenix on Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 pm.
