Sad trombone: SWAC tournament-bound Grambling finishes regular season 0-27

DALLAS, Texas  -- Grambling State is on the brink of submitting only the eighth winless season in Division I basketball history after an 0-27 regular season, in which they lost no game by fewer than double digits.

The misery isn’t over, however. They get one more shot at basketball redemption in the SWAC tournament, which they miraculously qualified for. I have no idea why the conference’s standards are so low, either.

Working with a fourth head coach in five seasons and a roster consisting of just eight scholarship players and seven walk-ons from the intramural program due to NCAA sanctions over APR scores, the Tigers went 0–27 during the regular season, capped by a 74–62 loss to Alabama State on Saturday.

How bad has this season been? Grambling is at the bottom of the national rankings according to the RPI, KenPom, BPI and Sagarin ratings.
