Projection: likely out

High Point’s resume is built around a clear offensive identity and a signature neutral win over Furman that shows it can beat a respectable opponent away from home. That highlight is undercut by a poor road outing at UAB, a neutral setback to Appalachian State and a tight defeat at Southern Illinois, and the defense has been a recurring concern even in dominant wins over Canisius and Bryant. Most victories come against low-major opposition, which pads the ledger but does little to shift perception, so the upcoming conference stretch — with trips to Charleston Southern, UNC Asheville and Winthrop and multiple matchups with Longwood and Radford — is the team’s best chance to add meaningful road or neutral wins. Without clear quality results away from campus the profile reads like an offensively dangerous squad with too few signature victories and enough defensive holes that the committee will view the résumé with caution.
