2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects St. Bonaventure at #114 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of +2.0 points per 100 possessions. That's a major climb from #139 a season ago, one of the bigger projected rises in the country. The projection makes this team a factor in its conference race.
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.

How LangIndex Rates St. Bonaventure
