2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Brown at #342 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -4.8 points per 100 possessions. That's a steep projected drop from #308 last season, driven by roster turnover. This projects as a development year.
With 80% of last season's minutes returning, this is one of the more continuous rosters in the country, and that tends to be a real edge in November and December.
Last Season (2025-26)
Brown finished 2025-26 at 7-18, ranked #308 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 93.5 and adjusted defense of 112.0 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Brown
Brown's power rating of -4.8 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 -4.8 means Brown projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 3 points on a typical night.
