2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Providence at #58 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of +6.7 points per 100 possessions. The model sees improvement from last season's #69 finish. The model slots this team in the NCAA-tournament conversation.
Only 37% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in. The incoming class is headlined by 4-star Dink Pate, part of a 1-commit group.
Last Season (2025-26)
Providence finished 2025-26 at 15-18, ranked #69 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 119.7 and adjusted defense of 108.8 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Providence
Providence's power rating of +6.7 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 +6.7 means Providence projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 5 points on a typical night.
