HIGH POINT, N.C. (AP) — Justin Hill had his first career double-double, Isaiah Wilkins scored 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting and Longwood beat High point 78-71. Zack Austin hit a 3-pointer to give High Point a 57-56 lead midway through the second half but the Lancers scored 14 of the next 15 points to take the lead for good. Hill finished with 18 points, a career-high 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals. Jaden House led High Point with 20 points. The Panthers (11-16, 5-8) played their first game without coach Tubby Smith who resigned a day earlier. His son G.G.
