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.

357. Jackson State Tigers (1–8)

Jackson State has one win this season, scoring just 51 points in that victory. The Tigers are averaging only 58 points per game while allowing 90. They rank near the bottom nationally in assists and rebounds. Jackson State is coming off a 40-point loss at Northwestern and a 52-point loss at Houston. Next up are home games against Hampton and Norfolk State, followed by a trip to TCU.

356. Florida A&M Rattlers (1–5)

Florida A&M holds steady at No. 356 with its lone win coming against Florida Memorial. The Rattlers resume play at home against Jacksonville before embarking on a challenging road stretch that includes Tarleton State, TCU, and Georgia Tech. Florida A&M is one of five SWAC teams stuck on just one win.

No Longer in the Bottom 10:

Chicago State Cougars (2–9)
Morgan State Bears (2–8)

In Consideration:

Eastern Illinois Panthers (2–7)
Niagara Purple Eagles (2–8)
Rider Broncs (1–8)

There they are. The bottom of the barrel. These teams are not thinking about March right now. They are simply trying to find consistency, confidence, and a path to a few much-needed wins.
