After head coach Flynn Clayman led High Point to its first NCAA Tournament win in school history, Clayman showed support for the Miami RedHawks and echoed similar sentiments to those made by RedHawks head coach Travis Steele for weeks.
"Looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season," Clayman said in March after the 12th-seeded Panthers' upset of No. 5 Wisconsin. "They said we ain't played nobody. We played somebody now. Nobody would play us, just like nobody would play Miami Ohio. But they gotta play us in this tournament."
Clayman and Steele said they're in agreement to play next season at a neutral site, according to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander, but "the logistics of when and where still have to be hashed out in the weeks ahead."
"As for the RedHawks, Steele hasn't been as successful as Clayman in scheduling to this point, which is unfortunate after that once-in-a-lifetime 32-2 season," Norlander wrote. "But he's still reaching out to most power-conference programs. (A complicating factor: The MAC's absurd decision to go to 22 conference games next season, limiting Miami's scheduling capability with only 10 non-con games.)"
The RedHawks defeated SMU in the NCAA Tournament's First Four, before falling to Tennessee in the round of 64.
