GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Grambling's men's basketball team has dealt with its fair share of struggles by failing to record a winning record in 10 seasons, but the program hit a new low Monday when the NCAA announced its annual attendance report.
Grambling finished with an average attendance of 305, the lowest among 351 teams, on the heels of a 2-27 season in 2015, which included a winless campaign against Division I teams.
The Tigers' latest home average is the lowest since they joined the Division I ranks in 1978. The previous low was 852 in 2002, and the program even averaged 1,713 fans during an 0-28 campaign.
It also marks the second-lowest average in the country since 2005. St. Francis (N.Y) averaged 297 people in 2007. Nicholls State averaged 316 people in 2007.
"We gotta put a good product on the floor," Grambling coach Shawn Walker said.
