@StevenBeckTO @ProwledPanthers Thanks for the shoutout! Big fan of the podcast 🫡

In the last couple days, Torvik has bumped High Point up from #69 to #66 in the preseason rankings.

1 spot ahead of Saint Louis, who they play on 11/15.

What a game that's going to be.

@HighPointHoops Loaded roster. The only question is how the center position plays out since: Miller hasn't had many minutes, Traore doesn't have college ball experience yet, and Garrett to my knowledge hasn't played a game at the 5 spot before?

[HPUFastBreak @HPUFastBreak]

@bigrandysnuts I agree. I would imagine High Point moves conferences in the next couple years. A-10 seems to be the most likely destination

[HPUFastBreak @HPUFastBreak]

Big South projections via Torvik:

High Point - 69
Winthrop - 220
Longwood - 221
Presby - 232
Radford - 275
UNCA - 288
Charleston So - 311
USC Upstate - 325
Gardner Webb - 353

The Big South needs to do better. One top-200 team isn't healthy for the conference, i'm sorry

[HPUFastBreak @HPUFastBreak]

@bigrandysnuts You got me thinking, so I took a look at the last 10 years of torviks ratings, and how many teams in the Big South had a Sub-200 rating:

2026 - 2
2025 - 3
2024 - 5
2023 - 3
2022 - 3
2021 - 3
2020 - 2
2019 - 7
2018 - 4
2017 - 3

That's an average of 3.5 teams per year

@DylanWeipz1 I hope you're right

I'm bored so here's a look at High Point's schedule so far and my guess at their opponent NETs and the Quadrants the games will fall in. Based entirely off vibes
