Hampton Preview Brett Wood, Special to TheSabre. Com , December 10th, 1999.
Timing is everything.
December 20th, the Hampton Pirates will be a very different team. When the clock strikes midnight on December 19, pumpkins will turn into eligible basketball players. Add that list of talent to the Pirates' returning players and you have a very competitive hoops squad. However, the transfer crowd will be watching from the pines Friday night and Merfield will have to go with what he's got. Hampton has played three games and lost three games by a cumulative total of 10 points.
