2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Elon at #238 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.4 points per 100 possessions. The model projects a step back from last season's #227 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.
Last Season (2025-26)
Elon finished 2025-26 at 12-18, ranked #227 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 107.9 and adjusted defense of 117.0 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Elon
Elon's power rating of -1.4 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 -1.4 means Elon projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
