Iverson being at the game didn’t bring any luck to Hampton as the school lost a close game to their Morgan State rivals by a score of 30-28.
ESPN reported that Morgan State got a comfortable lead on Hampton when they went up 20-7 in the second quarter and although Hampton made it closer game by halftime with the score at 20-14, HU came within two points in the third quarter with Morgan leading 23-21. But, after a Morgan touchdown made it 30-21, a late comeback couldn’t put them ahead when Hampton pulled up at 30-28. With a little more than four minutes remaining in the game, Morgan held on for the victory.
As far as Iverson, it was reported that WNBA rookie Angel Reese has collaborated with the basketball great for a limited edition shoe.
