High Point was 17-14 overall and 12-4 in the Big South a season ago. The Panthers claimed the Big South North Division title and earned a spot in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
Former North Carolina player Scott Cherry has logged four seasons at High Point. The program moved to Division I in 1999-2000.

SU has posted back-to-back 30-win seasons for the first time in school history. The Orange finished 34-3 and in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight in 2011-12 and followed that up with a Final Four appearance and 30-10 mark last year.
