We played the first two matches of the group stage.
Belgium 120 - 79 Scotland
A difficult match against the second place in the world rankings. I tried to play at a slower pace to reduce the score difference, but we still lost by - 41, which was quite painful. MacKissock did a good job in the attack, otherwise the score difference would have been even greater.
Scotland 123 - 139 Austria
We played well in a результативный match. We played with a lower intensity, but with equal intensity, we could have won. We were evenly matched for the first half, but a poor performance in the third quarter decided the outcome. We had a good distribution of shots and a decent shooting percentage. However, we struggled with defense. Interestingly, both teams together made 53 of their 53 free throws.
We have matches with Albania and Slovenia ahead, and we will try to play better.

Albania 95-74 Scotland
One of our worst matches in several seasons. For the fourth match in a row, we played an inside offense, because McClair and Belcher are still not ready to play in the starting lineup. The opponent's coach took a risk, guessed the prediction, set a high mood, strengthened the inside defense, and deservedly won. We didn't have a player in this match who could score a lot and consistently, which is a pity.
Scotland 117-118 Slovenia
We played with a high spirit and lost only in overtime. With an optimal lineup, we could have won all three of our last matches, but we'll never know. MacNiven scored a three-pointer buzzerbeater in overtime, but we were already down by four points.
When will the first victory be? Ahead are Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Bosnia
