Previous season

The Panthers finished the 2017–18 season 16–18, 12–6 in SWAC play to finish in a three-way tie for second place. Due to Grambling State's Academic Progress Rate violations and subsequent postseason ineligibility, the Panthers received the No. 2 seed in the SWAC Tournament. They defeated Alcorn State in the quarterfinals before losing to Texas Southern in the semifinals.[1]
