2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Alabama State at #317 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -3.6 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #318 finish. This projects as a development year.
Only 30% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

Alabama State finished 2025-26 at 10-22, ranked #318 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 92.3 and adjusted defense of 120.1 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Alabama State
Alabama State's power rating of -3.6 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of -3.6 means Alabama State projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 3 points on a typical night.
