Adversity comes in many forms; in sports, it tends to follow losses. Losses can act as a chisel, wearing away at a team\u2019s foundation ultimately splitting them apart as frustration mounts. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the case for the Miami Dade College men\u2019s basketball team. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite what head coach Kevin Ledoux calls \u201cone of the nation\u2019s toughest schedules,\u201d the Sharks (5-14) have remained steadfast in their journey to claim the Southern Conference championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis team is tough,\u201d Ledoux said. \u201cThe record doesn\u2019t indicate how good this basketball team is and how [good] it is going to be. We\u2019ve been in every game we have played [basically] so we\u2019re feeling pretty good considering what the record is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sharks high-octane offense is averaging 102.1 points per game, placing them second in the nation. They are also in the top ten in field goal attempts and three-point field goals attempted nationally, according to the National Junior College Athletic Association<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the team has faced problems with efficiency. They\u2019re 176th in field goal percentage (42.0 percent), 162nd in three-point field goal percentage (31.5 percent), 143rd in rebounding margin (+3.6 rebounds per game) and they\u2019re averaging 16.3 assists per game while committing the same amount of turnovers per game. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ledoux is unfazed by the inefficiency the team has shown at times. He uses it as an example of where the team can grow. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously our goal is to win games, not lose them,\u201d Ledoux said. \u201cSo I think with playing these top teams, our guys\u2019 experience what it takes to be a top program. [That] \u00a0helps our team out as the season moves to conference play. Right now our biggest focus is to make sure the players\u2019 confidence stays high and we maintain our chemistry. We have a special locker room and we have players who have stuck with each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ledoux has worked hard at keeping team chemistry. He has leaned heavily on the Sharks eight sophomores. They dedicate time in practice to what he calls the five H\u2019s: heartache, highlights, hope, heros and history. Players gather to speak about moments where they\u2019ve felt heartache, highlights, an example of hope, a moment where they have felt like a hero or a hero of theirs and a meaningful life story. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of trust in our teammates,\u201d said sophomore forward Nicholas Kratholm, who is averaging 10.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. \u201cWe play so hard and fast that we have to know we all have each other\u2019s back during the games.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a marked difference in last season’s team mentality compared to this season. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast season, toward the end when things got tough, the atmosphere changed,\u201d said forward DJ Russell<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s not that we gave up, but we seemed to not push ourselves as much. This year we\u2019re pushing each other. We\u2019re learning from our mistakes and we\u2019re more confident in our potential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell is one of this season’s highlights. The sophomore leads the team in scoring (19.6 points per game), rebounds (11 rebounds per game) and is second in field goal percentage (50.0 percent). <\/span><\/p>\n

With the Southern Conference portion of the Sharks schedule underway, the team has shifted its focus toward a possible post-season run at the state tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re ready for anything,\u201d Kratholm said. \u201cApart from a game or two, we\u2019ve been able to matchup against tough opponents so now our goal is to show that we\u2019ve grown from this schedule.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Sharks\u2019 next game is at home at the Theodore R. Gibson Health Center, 11011 S.W. 104th St.,<\/span><\/i> against Broward College on Jan. 16 at 7:30 p.m.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
