The latest PPP : We recap the HPU win over Charleston Southern from Saturday, talking FREE THROWS! Thoughts on the upcoming game at Winthrop. Plus the latest on Cam Fletcher.

📍 Setting the Stage High Point hits the road riding both momentum and expectation. The Panthers enter Saturday 3–0 in Big South play , winners of 17 straight conference games , fresh off a historic 104–49 dismantling of Gardner-Webb , the largest margin of victory over a Division I opponent in program history and the biggest Big South blowout the conference has ever seen. HPU winning comfortably isn’t something new. It’s now the standard. But this is not a comfortable road t

In this edition of the PPP: Gardner Webb behind, CSU ahead -- High Point remains undefeated in the Big South. But what are the team dynamics really like? This will only really work for so long. Is it time to cut the chord and go forward?

📍 Setting the Stage The Panthers stay home riding momentum after a strong stretch of connected play. High Point is 6–0 in its last six , 2–0 in conference , 10–1 at home , and still carrying a 16-game winning streak against the Big South . Across the floor stands a program in a very different place. The Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs enter at 2–15 overall , 0–2 in league play , ranked near dead last nationally (KenPom/NET in the ~360 range). This might be the most dichotomous

In a world of ever-changing stimuli, it is natural that we as fans have competing interests that may redirect our attention away from our favorite team. Dates get circled on the calendar as “premier” match-ups, can’t-miss games while others may fall by the wayside.   At first glance, High Point’s game against the Runnin’ Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb may appear to be the latter.  Gardner-Webb has yet to log an NCAA Division I victory this year and even suffered a double-digit loss

On our latest episode of the PPP : Big South aficionado Brian Wilmer shares his thoughts on the conference landscape, HPU coach Flynn Clayman joins us after the Panthers beat Longwood on Saturday, plus we try to answer questions on Cam Fletcher and Chase Johnston .

We recently caught up with Brian Wilmer ( @sportsmatters on X) to discuss the landscape of the Big South Conference at the start of league play. Parts of our time are being shared on the Prowled Panthers Podcast and Waking Up Prowled , but LISTEN to the full conversation below...

Join our latest PPP to get set for High Point's next conference game with Longwood. Plus, recap how the Panthers got to 1-0 in league play on New Years Eve. Daily Dose of Hoops contributor Brian Wilmer with his thoughts on that first game.

📍 Where We Stand High Point opens the home portion of Big South play riding the momentum of a historic 2025. The calendar year closed with a statement road win in Asheville on New Year’s Eve, a fitting punctuation mark on a season that saw the Panthers win the Big South regular season title, complete the double by capturing the conference tournament, and punch the program’s first ticket to March Madness. The Panthers have now won 15 straight Big South games and five straight

In prep for a new calendar year, we recently visited High Point University to spend some time with it's leader, visionary, and president - Dr. Nido Qubein. Dr. Qubein is a longstanding entrepreneur, philanthropist, motivational speaker, and author. Since his start as the school's president in 2005, the evolution of HPU has been grand, to say the least. His ability to transform people, places, and the impact that's made on the surrounding Triad, is of great interest to many. W

📍 Where We Stand High Point enters Big South play at  12–3  after dismantling D3 Pfeiffer to close the book on non-conference action. The gap in talent must be acknowledged, but the 123–64 win over the Falcons was a showcase of what this team can be and was built to be. An absolute offensive juggernaut where players up and down the roster can beat you, best illustrated by seven different Panthers scoring in double figures. High Point boasts one of the most efficient offenses

📍 Context & Stakes: Closing the Book on 2025 This is the final chapter of High Point’s non-conference schedule—and the final game of 2025. It’s not a measuring-stick matchup in the traditional sense, but it is  a tone-setter. High Point enters at 11–3, riding dominant performances and owning one of the most efficient offenses in the country. Pfeiffer arrives from Division III, well-rested after over three weeks off, but facing a massive jump in speed, length, and physicality

It's been a mini break around Christmas and High Point has just one lone non-conference game left on their schedule before conference play begins. With that in-mind, I reached out to HC Flynn Clayman to get his thoughts at this natural breaking point of the season. Here's some of his thoughts from our time together, below:

📍 Context & Stakes: Past Champions, New Blueprint Bryant arrives in High Point with a familiar-sounding résumé. Phil Martelli Jr. came to the Bulldogs in 2023 and immediately delivered: back-to-back 20+ win seasons, America East regular-season and conference tournament championships, and an NCAA Tournament appearance. Then Martelli left for what he deemed greener pastures. Unlike the Panthers, who promoted from within and retained much of the previous regime’s identity, Brya

📍 Context & Stakes: Familiar Faces, Different Jerseys High Point returns home after a record-setting victory over Mary Baldwin, sitting at 9–3—a record that, oddly, still feels a bit hollow. For a roster this talented, losses to Southern Illinois and App State linger. Those were games the Panthers had chances to close and didn’t. Now comes La Salle, a team built with many of the same traits that have bothered High Point over the last month. This matchup also carries some his
