App State and High Point will meet on a neutral floor for the second consecutive year in December. The two teams met in Greensboro last year, squaring off at Novant Health Fieldhouse, the home of the NBA G League's Greensboro Swarm.
Separated by just 104 miles, the Mountaineers and Panthers will meet for the 98th time. Last year's matchup was the first since 2012.
High Point, which was picked to win the Big South, is coming off a 29-6 season that culminated in an NCAA Tournament berth. The Panthers were recently tabbed as the No. 8 team on CollegeInsider.com's Preseason Mid-Major Top 25.
App State is set to tip off the 2025-26 season on Nov. 3 with a matchup at Central Michigan. The first chance to see the Mountaineers at home is Nov. 5 against Carolina University.
Single-game and
season tickets are available for purchase for all 15 App State home games at the Holmes Center this season.
