Thoughts from Coach Rutter
"We played very poorly tonight. Our decision making and patience on offense was poor. We played hard and battled, and that gave us a chance, but so many turnovers and offensive rebounds given away was hard to overcome. Hopefully we can learn from it and get better the next few days."
