High Point University’s men’s basketball team is launching the 2026-27 season with the toughest non-conference slate in Division I history — featuring a Power Four opponent, three former Mid-Major Top 25 teams, and historic matchups like the first official tip-off of the college basketball season against Liberty. With twelve home games before conference play, including road trips to LSU and participation in the Sunshine Slam, the Panthers are boldly testing themselves against elite competition. New blood — eight transfers and three freshmen — joins a fast-paced roster aiming to make a statement early.

Miami RedHawks and High Point are set to clash in two high-stakes matchups—one in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 2026, and another in Cincinnati in 2027—after both coaches agreed months ago to make it happen. High Point’s NCAA Tournament upset victory has only amplified the excitement, with Coach Clayman pushing for mid-major showdowns against bigger programs, a sentiment Miami’s Coach Steele has long championed. With Miami also showing strong tournament form, these games promise thrilling battles between two teams building momentum and mutual respect.
