We couldn't get them down. We had a few looks, but we just haven't shot it very well here lately. That's hurting us. Mascoutah got up and guarded us. They did a nice job. That's not the first time we've struggled offensively.
We did all right for the first half and played pretty well, but couldn't sustain it.
Obviously, I would like us to play better offensively. Our defense was good all five games. We'd like to score more points and be more fluid, but I think that's something that can come as the season goes on.
It's hard to have one without the other. If you don't get a good screen, or they don't set up the screen, you're probably not going to get a shot. When you don't have a player that's good enough to draw a double-team, you better run an offense that runs a lot of screens, or you might not get a shot.
We just have a lot of people in our rotation. We're pretty even after Lucas, we could go with anybody for the next 11 or 12 guys.
Lucas worked so hard. We had him doing so much. He just tired a little bit. It's not his fault. He was working so hard.
The end of the first quarter absolutely killed us. We left a guy wide open in the first quarter ... and that was big.
He got us off to a great start. He got a lot of points early. We know he gets a little fatigued, but we need him to score a lot of points for us for our offense to hum.
We don't make very good decisions sometimes. We start forcing things and then it's over. We just don't make very good passing decisions.
