2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects UT Arlington at #190 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -0.5 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #183 finish. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 23% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

UT Arlington finished 2025-26 at 16-14, ranked #183 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 100.0 and adjusted defense of 103.4 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates UT Arlington
UT Arlington's power rating of -0.5 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 -0.5 means UT Arlington projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 0 points on a typical night.
