Following the devastation caused this past week by Hurricane Harvey, which claimed the lives of at least 45 people and left thousands displaced from their homes, the St. John’s University basketball programs rallied together to help Houston-area victims of the aftermath.
On Monday, University of Houston head basketball coach Kelvin Sampson urged college basketball teams from around the country to donate 20 shirts and 10 pairs of shoes, which would then be distributed to the thousands of people in shelters across the area.
Sampson, who has coached at the university since 2014, included his address in a Twitter post that quickly went viral.
