2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Oral Roberts at #247 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.5 points per 100 possessions. That's a major climb from #313 a season ago, one of the bigger projected rises in the country. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 9% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in. The program adds 1 incoming recruit to the mix.
Last Season (2025-26)
Oral Roberts finished 2025-26 at 7-23, ranked #313 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 96.6 and adjusted defense of 118.5 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Oral Roberts
Oral Roberts's power rating of -1.5 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 -1.5 means Oral Roberts projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
