2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Idaho State at #252 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.6 points per 100 possessions. The model projects a step back from last season's #235 finish. This projects as a development year.
Only 26% 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)
Idaho State finished 2025-26 at 10-20, ranked #235 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 106.5 and adjusted defense of 117.4 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Idaho State
Idaho State's power rating of -1.6 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 -1.6 means Idaho State projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
