The Highline men’s basketball team is 3-10 going into their first game since Dec. 22. It will be their first conference game of the season. 

The team has really struggled with efficiency this year, they currently shoot 45.8% from the field, 29.3 percent from the three-point line, and 68.8 percent from the free throw line.

The T-Birds have also struggled to move the ball, they rank 27th out of the 34 teams in the NWAC in assists per game with 11.5. 

Highline played at 2-9 South Puget Sound on Wednesday, with results unavailable at press time. 

The Thunderbirds will face off against the 4-6 Tacoma Titans on Jan. 22 at 2 p.m. in the Pavilion, then travel to Aberdeen to face 5-9 Grays Harbor on Wednesday, Jan. 27.
