Before things get official, the Panthers head to Raleigh on October 18 for an exhibition against North Carolina State University. The Wolfpack made it to the Sweet 16 last year, so this should be a solid test.

These teams have met four times before, but not since the 2015-16 season. It’s been a while, so expect some fresh energy on both sides.

Opening Night Against Johnson C. Smith University

The season officially starts November 3 at the Nido & Mariana Qubein Arena, where High Point hosts Johnson C. Smith University. The Panthers have had the Golden Bulls’ number lately, aiming for their fourth straight win in the series since 1997-98.

Last time they played, back in 2023, High Point walked away with a 61-50 win.
