Get ready for an exciting matchup that's been brewing for months! The Miami RedHawks, led by head coach Travis Steele, are reportedly set to face off against High Point University—a team that turned heads with a stunning NCAA Tournament upset this past March.

High Point, the No. 12 seed in the tournament, made history by knocking off No. 5 Wisconsin in the first round. It was the Panthers' first NCAA Tournament win in school history, and head coach Flynn Clayman didn't hold back after the game. "Looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season," Clayman said. "They said we ain't played nobody. We played somebody now. Nobody would play us, just like nobody would play Miami Ohio."

That playoff-style grit is exactly what Steele has been advocating for all season. Now, the two coaches are reportedly on the same page. According to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander, the teams have agreed in principle to play at a neutral site next season, though the exact date and location are still being worked out.

For the RedHawks, this game is more than just a schedule filler. Miami had a dream season themselves, finishing 32-2 and earning a First Four win over SMU before falling to Tennessee in the round of 64. But despite that success, Steele has struggled to line up games with power-conference programs. "It's unfortunate after that once-in-a-lifetime 32-2 season," Norlander noted, adding that a complicating factor is the MAC's decision to move to 22 conference games next season, leaving Miami with just 10 non-conference slots.

This neutral-site showdown with High Point could be just the kind of high-stakes, high-energy game that fans love—and that both programs need to prove they belong on the big stage. Stay tuned for more details as they develop!
