Big South quarterfinal. Let's try this again to get our day started off right. It is a true home game for High Point, the regular-season champion. The models really like Radford, though -- when we did a preview of the Big South Tournament in the new premium newsletter (sign up on home page), the SL model was quite high on Radford considering its seed. The Highlanders catch a minor break in that they got a day off after their opening-round win over USC Upstate. Radford turned the ball over just nine times, making it four of the last six games with less than 10 total turnovers. Keeping the ball will be crucial here. It is 4-0 at neutral sites this season.

High Point catches a break as the Big South Tourney will be played on its home floor. Quite a debut campaign for new HC Alan Huss, who arrived from Greg McDermott's Creighton staff, and adroitly working the portal, finding top scorer Duke Miles (18 ppg) from Troy and main accomplice Kezza Giffa (16 ppg) from lower-tier Daytona State. It's a near 85 ppg offense for the Panthers that ranks eight nationally in scoring and resulted in a 12-5 "over" mark down the stretch, including a recent 99-74 win over Radford at the Qubein Arena.
