2026 Tournament PreviewWith 30 wins and a 76 NET ranking, High Point seemingly boasts one of the better mid-major resumes entering the Big Dance. Strength of schedule, though, tarnishes the shine a bit. The Panthers played only two games in the top-2 quadrants (both losses) and are 342rd (of 365 teams) in KenPom's SOS metric. Nevertheless, High Point excels at using tempo and defense to create offense, ranking top 50 in KenPom's adjusted pace with the fifth-best defensive turnover rate in the nation. That leads to easy buckets -- the Panthers are top 50 in effective FG percentage, with most scoring coming from seniors Terry Anderson (16.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg) and Rob Martin (15.3 ppg). Senior Chase Johnston (6.1 ppg) is the best three-point shooter at 48.5 percent. The Panthers are riding the nation's longest active winning streak (14) into the tournament, but their first-round matchup vs. Wisconsin will be their toughest of the season, by a mile.
