2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects North Carolina A&T at #259 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.9 points per 100 possessions. That's a major climb from #284 a season ago, one of the bigger projected rises in the country. This projects as a development year.
Only 17% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

North Carolina A&T finished 2025-26 at 9-19, ranked #284 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 101.4 and adjusted defense of 117.8 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates North Carolina A&T
North Carolina A&T's power rating of -1.9 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 -1.9 means North Carolina A&T projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
