Rankings from AP poll

The 2017–18 Grambling State Lady Tigers basketball team represented Grambling State University in the 2017-18 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. They were led by new coach Freddie Murray, who was promoted to interim and then hired full-time after former coach Nadine Domond departed to become an assistant coach at Rutgers.[1]

On January 3, 2018, Shakyla Hill became the fourth player in NCAA Division I history (men's and women's) to record a quadruple-double; it had not been done since Lester Hudson did it in 2007. In the Lady Tigers' 93–71 win over the Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs, Hill recorded 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals.[2]
