Howard (5-7, 3-7 D1) at Hampton (7-5, 4-5 D1) – 4:00 PM ET (CBS/Paramount+)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day returns with a visit to Hampton, Virginia as the Howard Bison travel to visit the Hampton Pirates in the Battle For The Real HU. Hampton has dominated the series 62-29 since the 1952-53 season; the Pirates are coming off of a 76-68 win against the Loyola (MD) Greyhounds. This ensured that Hampton will finish above .500 through December for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Noah Farrakhan averages 13.3 points a game for Hampton.
Howard recently had a modest 2-game winning streak that included victories against non-D1 Virginia-Lynchburg and UNC-Wilmington. However, a 13-2 run by Drexel powered the Dragons to a 68-65 victory over Howard in the Bison’s last game. Marcus Dockery led Hampton with 14 points in the loss against Drexel.
