No. 12 High Point High School team defeated No. 5 Wisconsin in an 83-82 victory in the 2026 NCAA tournament, prompting head coach Flynn Clayman to criticise critics of the team's schedule. He argued that high-majors need to play mid-major teams early in the season to maintain their dominance. The team entered the tournament with a 30-4 record and ranked No. 328 in the country in terms of strength of schedule.
