2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Creighton at #56 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of +6.8 points per 100 possessions. The model sees improvement from last season's #79 finish. The model slots this team in the NCAA-tournament conversation.
Only 31% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in. The incoming class is headlined by 4-star Katrelle Harmon, part of a 2-commit group.
Last Season (2025-26)
Creighton finished 2025-26 at 15-17, ranked #79 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 114.4 and adjusted defense of 104.5 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Creighton
Creighton's power rating of +6.8 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 +6.8 means Creighton projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 5 points on a typical night.
