February 7, 2026: High Point 86; Radford 77\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Players to Watch\u00a0<\/p>\n

USC Upstate: Sophomore Guard, Carmelo Adkins<\/a>\u00a0is coming off his fourth 20+ point performance\u00a0continuing to be a major part of the offense\u00a0averaging 13.3 points per game\u00a0while shooting 40 percent from the field, 36 percent from beyond the arc and 80 percent from the charity stripe. Continuing to elevate\u00a0his\u00a0three-level scoring, Adkins\u00a0has helped with scoring load as he scored in double figures through the last four matchups (15, 18, 12, 20). Adkins has shown that he can play the sixth man role or be focal\u00a0point in the scoring load while contributing on the defensive end\u00a0averaging one steal a game\u00a0and contributing 4.8 rebounds a game. In conference play, Adkins has provided the Spartans a spark of life with 13.7 points a game\u00a0while averaging 33.6 minutes a game. Carmelo Adkins<\/a> will look to add the first win over High Point during the Marty Richter<\/a> era.\u00a0<\/p>\n

High Point:\u00a0Graduate Forward, Terry Anderson leads the Panthers averaging 15.1 points per game while shooting\u00a059 percent from the field and 33 percent from beyond the arc.\u00a0\u00a0Anderson added a double-double performance of\u00a022 points and 12 rebounds in the January 17,\u00a02026,\u00a0matchup against Upstate. Anderson can control the game with his three-level scoring and\u00a0will to\u00a0crash the boards on the offensive\u00a0end,\u00a0creating second chance opportunities for the Panthers. As High Point looks for a season sweep, Anderson will be a player to watch through 40 minutes of play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
