Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

High Point’s résumé rests on high-octane offensive bursts and a conference crown earned with a neutral-site victory over Gardner-Webb, which together justify the committee’s placement; the chart-topping wins over conference foes and dominant home blowouts show they can overwhelm weaker opponents, but their case is tempered by road losses at UAB and at Winthrop and a tight defeat to Southern Illinois that highlight defensive inconsistency. Key résumé boosters include road triumphs at Charleston Southern, Longwood and Radford and neutral nonconference wins such as the outing against Furman and the neutral victory over Illinois Chicago, yet most wins come against lower-tier conference rivals so the committee will value those true road and neutral successes more than the pile of home blowouts. Their standing reflects a balance between an explosive offense and shaky defense, and the upcoming chance to face legitimate outside competition on a national stage is where they can either validate or further test that placement.
