PORTLAND, OREGON - MARCH 21: Head coach Flynn Clayman of the High Point Panthers points during the first half against the Arkansas Razorbacks during the second round of the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament held at Moda Center on March 21, 2026 in Portland, Oregon. (Photo by C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images) | NCAA Photos via Getty ImagesFlynn Clayman and High Point stunned the college basketball world by knocking off No.5 Wisconsin as a No.12 seed in the NCAA Tournament last March. Inside the program, the biggest shocker wasnt upsetting Wisconsin. It was doubters and critics saying the Panthers didnt deserve to be there due to their strength of schedule.However, many high major programs did not want to schedule the Panthers in the first place. Now, after defeating a popular choice to make the tournaments Sweet 16, High Point elevated to a top mid-major program with big expectations ahead. I spoke with Clayman about season expectations, an upcoming Power-5 opponent and more. I would say the tremendous expectations we have, I tend to thrive on that, Clayman said. We were favored in every single game we played up until Wisconsin I expect those expectations to be even more heightened this year. After taking down Wisconsin, Claymans postgame interview circulated online, gaining over 120,000 views on the official NCAA March Madness X account.Nobody would play us, just like they wouldnt play Miami (Ohio), but they gotta play us in this tournament. @HPUMBB's Flynn Clayman was HYPED after the upset of Wisconsin. #MarchMadnesspic.twitter.com/emT4EMx0PK NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) March 19, 2026His high intensity caught the eyes of many around the college basketball world, including NBA legend Charles Barkley. Barkley stated on ESPN that players want to play for a coach like Clayman and even joked about having one more year of college eligibility. Just got a big win type of reaction, Clayman said. Unless somebody else can tell me that, you know, eight years ago, they were the graduate assistant at Southern Utah, and then eight years later, theyre beating Wisconsin in the tournament, cant tell me how that feels. It was a little bit of body experience, but that intensity, that fearlessness, is what we want to instill in our guys.One of the biggest questions surrounding High Point heading into March Madness was about strength of schedule. During his viral interview, Clayman mentioned how many high major programs did not want to schedule High Point in non-conference games. He explained that the problem isnt that high majors are afraid to play top mid-major programs, its that metrics dont support that decision. Playing a school at home with a NET ranking between 76 and 160 is considered a Quad-3 game. Top mid-major programs like High Point, who peaked with a 68 NET ranking during conference play and were consistently ranked in the 70s, are risky games for high major programs. Its the system we have metric wise, said Clayman. It doesnt make a ton of sense for them to play a game, even if theyre buying you and having you on their home court, it doesnt make a ton of sense for them to play a Quad-3 team. If youre outside of the top 75, which is a really hard threshold to get into at a mid-major, you are a tough Quad-3 game that can mess with their metrics for their at-large birth.Now, the Panthers dont have to wait until March to face a Power-5 program. They will travel to Baton Rouge on Dec. 18 to play LSU, led by Will Wade, who nearly scheduled High Point last season while at NC State before returning to LSU. NC State ultimately scheduled Liberty, a program ranked higher than High Point before the season. Clayman expects the Panthers to compete with LSU.Theres not a lot of coaches that will go out and get bought and play a high major road game when they dont have to, Clayman said. I want to do it at least once a year to give our guys a chance to see where were at Were gonna go down there and compete against one of the top programs in the country.Navigating the transfer portal, NIL and eligibility rules is challenging. With fifth-year eligibility rules being uncertain, Clayman and his staff prioritized building their roster around players with 100% eligibility rather than waiting for court decisions. They did not want players worrying about eligibility or someone who could end up not being eligible, which could potentially hinder team success. This quick approach led to High Point filling the roster a couple weeks after the transfer portal opened, leaving Clayman confident going into summer workouts and the upcoming season.We just built our roster with eligible guys, Clayman said. We filled our spots. We feel really great about our team.A key addition for High Point is guard Trey Pearson, a four-star recruit out of Tennessee and the 116th-rated player in the country. Clayman praised his competitiveness and toughness so far throughout summer workouts. Hes been competing with veteran guards CJ Brown and Conrad Martinez, which has given Pearson a great opportunity heading into the season. While its too early to tell what Pearsons role is going to be, he has impressed the coaching staff so far.He is pretty ready, Clayman said. We have other good point guards like CJ Brown and Conrad Martinez, but hes out there competing with them every day.After a legendary NCAA Tournament run, expectations for High Point are higher than ever. Clayman views these expectations as a sign of growth for the program and believes their success will continue for seasons to come. The Panthers were favored in every game last season heading into their Tournament matchup against Wisconsin, and Clayman expects their standards to continue to grow. With a veteran coaching staff, roster and tough nonconference schedule, High Point has something to prove this season.Im just excited about taking that pressure and those expectations to another level and trying to meet them, Clayman said.High Point hasnt publicized its official schedule but has marquee non-conference matchups against Saint Louis and LSU.

The Denver Broncos' state-of-the-art facility continues to draw attention for its commitment to player wellness. Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer took an even more in-depth look at the amenities the Broncos have for player recovery earlier this week. One of the items Glazer really enjoyed was a Cryo-room. "When I started Unbreakable Performance Center 13 years ago, we were one of the very first gyms in America with a Cryochamber," Glazer wrote in an Instagram post. "Sean Payton (then with the New Orleans Saints) flew out to see it, and he then ordered 2 from our supplier to be the first NFL team with one. Welp, he definitely one-upped us with this thing."Some of the other recovery items Glazer experienced included a dry float tank, a hyperbaric chamber, nap pods, and hot and cold pools, all specially designed for player health. You can view Glazer's video runthrough of the Broncos' wellness center below. View this post on InstagramSome of these amenities may likely have already been put to use at the beginning of training camp. With several players at various stages of injury recovery (including Nik Bonitto, Jaylen Waddle and Luke Wattenberg, among others), the Broncos are trying to stay on top of being one of the healthiest teams in the NFL in 2025. "(These amenities allow) their players to recover as hard as they train," Glazer wrote. "Too many athletes miss the boat on this and only recover when they have an injury or do minimal amount. As hard as you train, recovery harder!!! Youve got to outwork the world in all areas and that includes how you take care of your body."
