Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"We did a nice job looking for each other tonight (11 assists in the first half). That's something we've worked on this week. Shaud and Ese did a great job being patient and picking the right spots to attack. All season, our guys have really tried their best to improve on the areas we've challenged them and that's exciting as the rest of the season unfolds."

"In the meantime, we are struggling taking care of the ball and being locked in defensively for long enough stretches. We have a big week coming up with some big time opponents and will have opportunities to step up."

"The majority of our team has struggled with illness and injury the past week, tonight was a great opportunity to get a look at some other guys and see some different lineups and I think we got better at some things."

Up Next
On Tuesday, the NAIA number two ranked Firestorm will host the NAIA number six ranked Wildcats of Indiana Wesleyan. The matinee tip-off is scheduled for 1:00 pm.
