Hampton University basketball is probably best known for being one of just eight 15 seeds to knock off a 2 seed, as they beat Iowa State 58-57 in 2001. But to Virginia fans, they are probably known for 2 things. First. they were the Hoos’ first round opponent in the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The good guys won that game 81-45. Second, their starting small forward is Akim Mitchell. If that name looks familiar, it’s because he’s Akil’s brother. He also played in that 2016 game, one of four Pirates currently on the roster who did so, for a total of 21 minutes and 4 points.
