High Point Upsets Wisconsin; Coach Demands More Mid-Major Opportunities

High Point shocked Wisconsin 83-82 in the NCAA Tournament, earning the Panthers their first win over a Power 5 opponent. In a postgame tirade, coach Flynn Clayman criticized non-conference scheduling that limits mid-majors, citing Miami (Ohio) and noting that High Point played few quad-one games. He argued high-majors should face mid-majors earlier in the season and said the team is aiming beyond one win toward a Sweet 16 run.
