2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Tulane at #257 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -1.8 points per 100 possessions. That's a steep projected drop from #226 last season, driven by roster turnover. This projects as a development year.
About 60% of last season's production returns, a middle-of-the-road continuity number.
Last Season (2025-26)
Tulane finished 2025-26 at 17-15, ranked #226 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 105.7 and adjusted defense of 111.9 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Tulane
Tulane's power rating of -1.8 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 -1.8 means Tulane projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 1 points on a typical night.
