2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Maine at #339 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -4.7 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #345 finish. This projects as a development year.
Only 34% 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)
Maine finished 2025-26 at 7-24, ranked #345 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 86.2 and adjusted defense of 116.7 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Maine
Maine's power rating of -4.7 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 -4.7 means Maine projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 3 points on a typical night.
