No. 4 in the Midwest

[Chi-Boiler]

High Point has a very non-interesting profile by the numbers.

Record: 27-5 (not counting non-Division 1 games)
NET: 82
82 ppg, 18th in the NCAA
14-2 in the Big South, always a one-bid league.
One of their losses was to our good friend Cuonzo Martin and Missouri State, who was beyond awful this year. Chase Martin had 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 turnovers in 24 minutes. That game was in the Cayman Islands tournament, in which High Point rebounded to win their next 2 games.
They have 1 game in Quad 2, a win over North Texas at home. No Quad 1 games.
High Point went 1-1 in games against tournament teams, beating 16-seed American and losing to 16-seed Norfolk State.

Notable, Tubby Smith, an alum, finished his coaching career at High Point in 2022.

I don't have a link. I have my knowledge of how the tournament works. I'm sure you can find one though.

I like to say I know more about the NCAA Tournament than anything in my life. And that includes my kids.

it’s well documented but no easy references to find. 🤔

Good thing there was no tournament in 2020...

We don’t speak of 2020 😂 😂

Also, Painter said that HP's coach was an assistant at Creighton with Coach Lusk and was Rapheal's coach at La Lum.

From ncaa.com - insert from 2009 NCAA tournament summary - (Note the reference below to "last 12 games," which reflected a previous change a few years before from 10 games.)

___________________________________________

"The 2009 NCAA tournament was the ninth, and second-to-last, NCAA tournament with a 65-team bracket, prior to the introduction of the 68-team bracket that featured the First Four in 2011.

In 2009, North Carolina won its second national championship in five seasons as coach Roy Williams and the Tar Heels had also won in 2005. That meant in the second half of the decade, three schools combined to win the five national championships — North Carolina in 2005 and 2009, Florida in 2006 and 2007, and Kansas in 2008.

One year after all four No. 1 seeds made the Final Four for the first time ever, the 2009 NCAA tournament was another tournament where the top seeds thrived. The 2009 Final Four featured No. 1 seeds North Carolina and UConn, No. 2 seed Michigan State and No. 3 seed Villanova. Two of the four regions featured a Sweet 16 with the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, while another included the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 5 seed.

The 2009 NCAA tournament saw some other changes and firsts, like the "last 12 games" evaluation criteria being removed from the selection process. President Barack Obama became the first president to fill out his bracket on national TV and he correctly picked North Carolina to win the national championship. The Big East became the first conference to produce three No. 1 seeds, as well as the first to have five teams in the Sweet 16."

I knew I recognize that name. He was the coach at La Lumière.

Ok thanks I tried to find that and couldn’t.

Yeah, but it's a good thing they decided to not count that year for eligibility purposes......wait a minute.

 

[rgarlitz]

It literally never happened.... well, the tournament anyway. Purdue did lose 15 actual games.

 

[Boiler Buck]

He had us in the finals last year

Yes that is correct. As most did. But I have watched him for over a decade. Loves to dunk on the Boilers.
