1st quarter, 0 points.
Asan Woori Bank of the Women’s Professional Basketball (WKBL) team created a skit in which they ended up scoring no points in the first quarter. Woori Bank ended the first quarter with a score of ‘0’ in the home game against Incheon Shinhan Bank in the 2024-2025 Women’s Professional Basketball Regular League held at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium on the 16th. This is the lowest score in one quarter in women’s professional basketball history.
The existing minimum score in one quarter is 1 point in the 4th quarter, which Shinhan Bank recorded against Hana 1Q (currently Bucheon Hana Bank) on December 6, 2023. The lowest score in a game in history is 29 points scored by Busan BNK against Woori Bank on December 21, 2021.
In women’s professional basketball, there has been a recent trend of poor performance, with one team scoring only around 40 points in a game. The game between Woori Bank and Hana Bank on the 11th ended at 48-41, with both teams scoring around 40 points. 48 points was the lowest scoring victory since the Woori Bank team was founded.
Hana Bank increased 48 points on the 2nd, 48 points on the 5th, Cheongju KB Stars increased 49 points on the 8th, 46 points on the 13th, and BNK increased 43 points on the 12th. On the 16th, Woori Bank lost 43-57 to Shinhan Bank, making it a total of eight scores in the 40s in women’s professional basketball since December. On November 16th, Shinhan Bank’s score was 38 points.
The downward standardization of women’s basketball due to the abolition of the foreign player system and the absence of star players is pointed out as the cause.
Women’s professional basketball entered the All-Star break after this day’s game. The All-Star Game will be held at Bucheon Gymnasium on the 21st and 22nd, and the regular league will resume on the 1st of next month.
