Qubein Center is the home of the High Point Panthers basketball programs, both men and women's. It is a 4,500-seat arena located on the campus of the High Point University in High Point, North Carolina. Qubein Center, named for university president Nido Qubein and his spouse Mariana Qubein, is part of the much larger conference center and hotel. The arena held its first games on November 4, 2021; they also held a ceremony that night to commemorate the court, which is named after High Point alumnus Tubby Smith and Donna Smith.
