Game 1 - Scotland vs. Italia 69 - 117 (81687)A heavy defeat as expected. We can be proud of the 1st and 4th quarter defensive performance holding them to only 19 points in each. Italy were too much for us in the 2nd and 3rd quarters as they scored 39 and 40 points respectively to our 17 and 18.
We correctly predict that Italy will try and run up the score with a fast pace. We manage to win a quarter against Italy in garbage time which is a respectable effort.
Our best performer of the night was SG G. MacIlduy with 23 points, 7 Rebounds, 3 Assists, 2 Steals and 1 Block over 34 minutes.
Given our lack of game shape and being outmatched against the number 1 rated team, we are not disgraced and are happy to keep the score differential less than 50.
Our next game is against Suomi (Finland) which will be another difficult contest.
