Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"Arizona Christian/Southwestern College has such a rich history of disciplining young men and women that go out and impact the world for Christ.  Tim Fultz is one of those that was such a great teammate, and had an enormous impact on his friends, family, and those he served in the mission field.  It was a lot of fun to have the guys playing in the blue southwestern jerseys as we honor Tim and others that played at ACU."

"We had some stretches of great basketball tonight.  I was pleased with the 19 assists and the way we looked for our teammates.  We were so good at that throughout our preseason scrimmages but got away from that in our early games.  Was good to see us get back on track."

"We have really struggled taking care of the ball and playing hard for 40 minutes and that was evident tonight.  We need to be much more consistent with our effort, physicality, and execution of the little things if we are going to maximize our abilities.  Will have a great opportunity to improve in those areas against a great program."

On Saturday, Arizona Christian will host Oregon Tech at 4:00 pm to close out the Tim Fultz Memorial Classic.
