2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Holy Cross at #360 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -6.6 points per 100 possessions. The model projects a step back from last season's #336 finish. This projects as a development year.
With 73% of last season's minutes returning, this is one of the more continuous rosters in the country, and that tends to be a real edge in November and December. The program adds 1 incoming recruit to the mix.
Last Season (2025-26)
Holy Cross finished 2025-26 at 9-22, ranked #336 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 94.9 and adjusted defense of 121.5 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Holy Cross
Holy Cross's power rating of -6.6 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 -6.6 means Holy Cross projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 5 points on a typical night.
