It has been a historically bad season for The Evergreen State College men’s basketball team. The poor Geoducks are just 1-25 this season and haven’t really been close except for their one win over PLU in November.  They lost their best player and lost two other starters before the new year and have played with just seven players for most of the conference season.

It got me wondering, is Evergreen the worst college basketball team in the NCAA or NAIA this season?  The answer, thankfully, is no based on scoring margin average.  The following is a breakdown of all the teams in the NCAA or NAIA that have one or less wins ranked by how much they lose by on average…
