Privateers finish 0-29

Sun., March 9, 2014

New Orleans tied the Division I women’s basketball record for futility in a single season Saturday with an 87-56 loss to Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas. The Privateers fell to 0-29, tying the mark set by Fordham in 2008 and matched by Weber State last season. It was the 33rd consecutive loss for New Orleans, which would need to lose another 25 in a row to tie the all-time losing streak, set by LIU Brooklyn between 1987 and 1989. New Orleans fell behind 13-0 Saturday, trailed by as many as 30 points in the first half and 43 points in the second. Jasmine Johnson had 18 points to lead SHS. Octavia Wilson scored 13 for New Orleans. – AP
