Last Season (2025-26)
NJIT finished 2025-26 at 15-17, ranked #337 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 90.7 and adjusted defense of 118.7 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates NJIT
NJIT's power rating of -5.8 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 -5.8 means NJIT projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 4 points on a typical night.
