2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Tennessee Tech at #312 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -3.5 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #317 finish. This projects as a development year.
Only 29% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.
Last Season (2025-26)
Tennessee Tech finished 2025-26 at 11-18, ranked #317 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 97.1 and adjusted defense of 119.6 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Tennessee Tech
Tennessee Tech's power rating of -3.5 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 -3.5 means Tennessee Tech projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 2 points on a typical night.
