Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

High Point's projection as an automatic qualifier makes sense because the resume combines convincing home blowouts and eye-opening neutral wins over teams like Furman and Illinois Chicago with resume-building road victories at Charleston Southern and UNC Asheville that show the club can win away from Raleigh. The profile is held back by ugly trips to UAB and Winthrop and a close home loss to Southern Illinois that expose defensive lapses even as the offense can overwhelm weaker opponents such as Gardner Webb and Bryant. Upcoming conference games, notably a road test at SC Upstate and a home chance to settle the score with Winthrop plus matchups against Gardner Webb, UNC Asheville and Presbyterian, give High Point clear opportunities to cement the resume or else leave its tournament fate squarely tied to winning the league.
