Want to see some bad basketball?

Thinking of taking in a Division I basketball game on a court in north Louisiana over the next few days. Try finding a winning team.

The eight D-I schools in our area are a combined 34-84 overall, although that mark is skewed by the Grambling men and women who were a combined 1-23 overall before Monday.

That's depressing news for any roundball lovers. The NSU women at 7-8, the Lady Techsters at 7-9 and the Centenary men at 7-10 are the three closest teams to having winning records. The Centenary Ladies and the Louisiana Tech men are each 3-12. At least the annual out-of-conference pastings are out of the way.

Here's hoping January and February outings right a few ships around here.
