Men's Basketball
Hampton has a long and storied basketball history, which can be traced back to the 1912 team, which upset Howard University's Howard Big Five team, the reigning Colored Basketball World's Champions, 19-16 in overtime. It was Howard's second defeat in two years. For a detailed account of the game, see Hot Potato: The Birth of Black Basketball.
