They just beat a salty Wisconsin team today, and if you overlook them you'll be the next chapter in their Cinderella story.

High Point University (HPU) is a private, United Methodist-affiliated liberal arts institution in High Point, North Carolina, known as the "Premier Life Skills University." It has been ranked #1 Best-Run College in the Nation by The Princeton Review for two consecutive years (2025, 2026) and #1 in Regional Colleges of the South by U.S. News & World Report for 14+ years.

Hi Point is a cheap ass unreliable semiautomatic handgun.   If we can't beat a Saturday night special, we might as well go home.
Perish peacefully in a warm environment.

By my calculation, high point gets three hours more rest than we do.

We should beat High Point. And, we are an extremely talented team offensively. But, we just don't have enough players to make a deep run in the tournament. The injury bug is fucking killing us.

I have a graduate degree already but I was a terrible student in undergrad.  Think they'll let me take a mulligan?

ChatGPT says the Hogs are 4-1 this year in games starting past 8 pm. Only loss was to Houston.

I can't so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture.
