Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

High Point’s placement is driven by a conference championship finish that came with neutral-site victories over Gardner Webb, UNC Asheville and Winthrop, and those late wins give the resume a clear headline even as the non-conference body of work is mixed; a neutral victory over Furman and comfortable home wins over Canisius and La Salle help, but the resume is marred by a harsh road setback at UAB and damaging losses at Winthrop, Southern Illinois and Appalachian State that expose vulnerability away from home. The staff will also credit road victories at Charleston Southern, Radford and SC Upstate that show the program can win outside its gym, yet most of the team’s best moments came inside the league so there are limited opportunities left to add a resume-changing non-conference scalp before the big dance. That combination of a conference title and dominant league performances offset by a few notable road defeats explains why the committee would slot them where they are.
