College basketball’s bottom 10: the teams still searching for answers

Each week, we take a closer look at the teams having the toughest seasons in college basketball. From winless programs to defenses giving up triple digits, this week’s Bottom 10 highlights just how difficult the climb can be at the bottom of the rankings.

359. Kansas City Roos (1–9)

Kansas City entered the Bottom 10 after a nine-game losing streak, though they recently picked up their second non-Division I win. The Roos are scoring 69.5 points per game and allowing 81. One major concern is their 11.8 assists per game, among the lowest marks in the country. Upcoming games include trips to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State before hosting Austin Peay.

358. Alcorn State Braves (1–9)

Alcorn State remains at No. 358, with its lone win coming against Indiana State. The Braves are coming off a brutal loss at Iowa State, where they allowed 132 points in a 64-point defeat. The schedule does not get any easier with upcoming road games at Baylor and Ole Miss before conference play begins at Jackson State.
