Discover High Point’s Location as Panthers Compete in March Madness

The Panthers spent 25 years in the Big South without a berth in the men’s NCAA Tournament. They won the Big South regular-season and conference tournament titles in each of the last two seasons.

Those results delivered High Point its first NCAA Division I appearances. Previously, the program’s only NCAA entries were in Division II in 1996 and 1997.

Some view the Panthers as a potential low-major powerhouse and recurring Cinderella. But modern player movement and NIL deals can quickly reshape rosters at smaller programs.

High Point meets the five-seed Wisconsin Badgers on Thursday in the tournament. A victory would solidify the Panthers’ rising profile.
