On a Saturday with one of the best lineups of games of the college basketball season, no one expected a contest featuring two losing teams in the Southland Conference to create a buzz.
But that is just what happened when Houston Baptist came out of the locker room dressed like the Harlem Globetrotters in throwback uniforms designed to pay homage to the best HBU teams of the 1960s and 1970s. The Huskies are celebrating their 50th season by honoring former players and naming All-decade teams this year.
The uniforms were mostly well received as pictures quickly circumlated around the Internet. Some were puzzled by the look and others disapproved.
Dressin' those poor kids up like rodeo clowns. Y'all should be ashamed, @HBUBasketball. What's the lesson here? These kids misbehave?
