It’s a top-tier Big South showdown on January 31 as Longwood heads to High Point in a game with conference title implications. The Panthers will host the Lancers at the Qubein Center, where High Point has dominated most visitors this season. Longwood enters looking to snap their two-game skid and keep pace in the standings.
High Point (17–5, 9–1 Big South) has quietly been one of the best mid-major teams ATS this season, particularly at home. Longwood (14–8, 7–3 Big South) brings a rugged defense and physical interior game but hasn’t traveled well lately. With the line hovering around a two-possession spread, we’ve got betting value on both the side and total.

Longwood Lancers vs High Point Panthers Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Longwood Lancers | +185 | +5.5 (-110) | O 144.0 (-112) |

Longwood Lancers Betting Form
Longwood lives off toughness — they lead the Big South in rebounding rate and points in the paint. Offensively, they don’t shoot many threes, instead relying on post touches and second-chance points. That works well at home, but on the road, their scoring dips.
Defensively, they’re solid but foul-prone. Opponents get to the line frequently, and Longwood’s interior defense can collapse when rotations break down. They’ll need to control tempo here — if this turns into a track meet, they’re in trouble.

High Point Panthers Betting Form
High Point has been electric at home, averaging over 82 points per game and winning by double digits in seven straight at the Qubein Center. They push tempo, shoot the three well, and crash the offensive glass with purpose. Their guards initiate quick actions, often leading to early shot-clock looks.
Defensively, they’re vulnerable at times — especially against teams that can punish them inside. But their margin comes from offense and pace. If they shoot well early, they tend to pull away quickly.

Longwood Lancers vs High Point Panthers Matchup Breakdown
This matchup boils down to pace vs control. Longwood wants to grind; High Point wants to run. The Panthers also have the edge in shot-making — both from deep and the line — while Longwood’s strength on the glass will be tested by High Point’s tempo.
Matchup highlights:
- High Point is 7–0 ATS at home this season
- Longwood has failed to cover 3 of its last 4 on the road
- Panthers average 25 FT attempts per game at home
- Lancers are 2nd in Big South in rebound margin
If Longwood keeps it in the 60s, they can cover. If High Point hits 80, it’s over.
Longwood Lancers vs High Point Panthers Predictions and Best Bets
I’m taking High Point -5.5 at home. They’re simply too consistent offensively and have covered every home spread this season. Longwood’s defense can hang early, but they don’t have the scoring to keep up for 40 minutes if the Panthers get rolling.
Total leans Over. If High Point dictates pace — which they usually do at home — 144 is within range even if Longwood lags behind.
Best Bet: High Point Panthers -5.5 (-110).
