2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Eastern Washington at #218 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.0 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #216 finish. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 22% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

Eastern Washington finished 2025-26 at 13-19, ranked #216 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 108.2 and adjusted defense of 116.4 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Eastern Washington
Eastern Washington's power rating of -1.0 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 -1.0 means Eastern Washington projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
