How LangIndex Rates Bellarmine
Bellarmine's power rating of -3.3 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 -3.3 means Bellarmine projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 2 points on a typical night.
