2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Fairleigh Dickinson at #241 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.4 points per 100 possessions. That's a major climb from #338 a season ago, one of the bigger projected rises in the country. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 2% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

Fairleigh Dickinson finished 2025-26 at 8-21, ranked #338 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 93.8 and adjusted defense of 122.9 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Fairleigh Dickinson
Fairleigh Dickinson'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 Fairleigh Dickinson projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
