Double Digits x 2
Wright scored at least twenty points in both games to start the regular season last week. Austin scored 10 points against Northwestern and 20 against Shenandoah.
Mr. Wright Now
John-Michael Wright was named to the Big South Preseason First Team. Wright was highlighted by the NCAA in August as one of the top nine returning scorers in the nation. Wright averaged 20.7 points per game a season ago, which was good for the 17th best scorer in the nation. He assisted on nearly 25% of HPU's baskets when he was in the game a season ago according to Kenpom. Wright was the second-highest scorer in the Big South last season.
Non-Conference Play
High Point will play 14 non-conference games in total, nine of them taking place inside the beautiful Qubein Center in its inaugural season and the other five occurring on the road. Four of the Panthers' five opponents on the road are Power-Five teams.
