Our Reading

The game followed a familiar script.

High Point trailed by double digits, but managed to come back and win. This one felt recognizable early.

Chase Johnston’s game-winning basket was a breakaway layup after a missed Wisconsin layup.

The rebound was grabbed by Rob Martin, who fired downcourt to Johnston, a 3-point specialist with his first two-point basket of the season.

This one wasn’t surprising by the end.

Original observation: The Panthers’ victory was a testament to their team-first mentality, which was built on serving and loving each other.
