How LangIndex Rates Furman
Furman's power rating of +0.7 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 +0.7 means Furman projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 0 points on a typical night.
