Is it a benefit for one school to have played almost all of its scheduled games compared to another that's coming off a COVID pause? I think so. High Point (coached by Tubby Smith) hasn't played since New Year's Eve or on the road since Dec. 22. The Panthers are 1-5 away. Longwood is a good defensive club, surrendering 70 points or fewer in seven of 10 conference games. Only one school all season has hit better than 40 percent from deep against the Lancers. They have won the past five in this series.
