Sinclair\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team<\/a> is two-thirds through their season and are focusing their sights on March and postseason basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going into the season, this year\u2019s team consists of all freshmen,<\/a> meaning there were a number of trials and tribulations heading into the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComing into the season, we did not have one person that had played one second of college basketball,\u201d Jeff Price, head coach of Sinclair\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team stated.  \u201cThis is a whole new experience for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinclair started off with a streak of victories. However, as the season went on, the team hit a bump in the road. But losses have not stopped the team from continuing to push forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning a new system and concepts is extremely challenging for individuals who have never played together. Teams take time to build when there are no players who have experience in the system run by coach Price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, conditioning the team to play a longer schedule<\/a> adds another layer of difficulty to the season. A high school basketball season consists of 20 games, while at Sinclair, the schedule is 30 games. Meaning they are playing ten more games than they are accustomed to playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a team of freshmen, there are going to be freshmen mistakes. However, with mistakes comes learning and changing those mistakes for more satisfying outcomes down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
