For KenPom, we would be #81 or #82 instead of #88 if we beat #362 Mississippi Valley St by 49.   So 6 or 7 spots.   (you could also argue #79 or #80 if you are trying to find a comp for Chaminade)   I'll show the math below.  It doesn't kill us because it's just one game, but it has some impact.

I would expect the impact would be similar for NET as they have comparable principles, but its hard to say exactly because NET doesn't have a "score" where you can see the gaps between teams.  But I think you can safely conclude our NET would probably be 4-5 spots higher if not a bit more.
 
I can answer easily under KP, because you can back into numbers.

Under KP.  The worst team in D1 is Mississippi Valley St a truly bad 0-24 team, with an adjusted EM of -33.42.  We would be expected to beat them by 28 points.    If we win by 49, that excess 21 points over 26 games is worth about 0.81 increase to our EM... so or EM improves from 9.49 to about 10.3...

Now Chaminade might actually be better than Mississippi Valley St...  they are on an island at #362... team #361 is about 5 point better on a neutral floor.     Miss Valley St is historically bad!

So say we beat a team in the 350's as a better comp to Chaminade, our EM climbs by about 1.00, and we move up to the 79 or 80 position in KP.
