Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

High Point presents the profile of a mid‑major team that does the things a committee values in conference play while carrying a few damaging nonconference blemishes, with the offense turning in convincing wins at neutral sites against Furman and Illinois Chicago, solid road victories at Charleston Southern and Radford, and emphatic home results against Gardner Webb and La Salle. The résumé is held back by difficult trips that ended poorly at UAB and Winthrop and by defeats at Southern Illinois and Appalachian State that hurt the nonconference ledger and raise questions about consistency away from home. The defense has been a clear weakness at times, yet the schedule finishes with reachable assignments against UNC Asheville, a rematch with Winthrop and a road date at Presbyterian that give them a pathway to strengthen their case before the league tournament. That mix of conference dominance tempered by a handful of bad nonconference losses explains why the committee view reflected in the projection feels like a fair placement.
