Grambling State got off to a great start when they opened the game with a 34-0 run before CBS was able to score any points. The school went scoreless until there were two minutes left in the first quarter. By the time the bell rang to signify halftime, Grambling had run up the score to 82-10. At that point, maybe they could have switched uniforms to try to make it a fair match.

What was supposed to be a normal basketball game ended up breaking the previous record for the highest margin of victory in women’s college basketball. In 2018, Savannah State beat Wesleyan of Georgia by 139 points.

Eight Lady Tigers scored double digits, with Arianna Mosley leading the way by scoring 27 points. Kahia Warmsley scored 20 points, while Amanda Blake and DeMya Young both had 15.

The women at the College of Biblical Studies shouldn’t feel too bad, as this is the school’s first year having a basketball team. The school, which is based in Houston and plays in the Southwest Region of the National Christian College Athletic Association, has yet to win a game in its inaugural season. They now possess a record of 0-7.
