USA has two kids from the Houston area and they have a number of fans here.right now 6:30 before tipoff there are more USA fans than Owl fans. There is 1 person in the student section. Pretty embarrassing.

Maybe everybody is making Memphis travel arrangements. :)

Are we really going to complain about fan attendance, especially student attendance, today of all days?

I think the fanbase deserves a pass after collectively freezing their butts off this afternoon.

So I guess the basketball student-athletes don't deserve some support. Hell Leebron and Ping are here.

4:38 in 1st half

Students possibly celebrating??

Solid half by the Owls. Obi andRamljak providing the points. 38-23 at the half

Obi with first half double-double

I counted four of USA's shots to miss absolutely everything. So much for a shooters' gym, right?

Some definite areas for improvement for the Owls, but a very complete effort so far.

Owls 38
USA 23

I've got a bet going as to whether the number of students wil exceed the number of players. I've got the under an it's looking pretty good.

If you count the WBB players that are here on the side, not on the end, it tips in favor of the over.

That's why I had my lawyer carefully draft the parameters.

Unfortunately, this is another game where the visitor fans almost outnumber the Rice fans. Happens all too often.

Uh oh!

Raining 3's by USA and it is tied at 49 with 10:34 to go.[/u]

Rice at the FT line

Owls go back up 4 after the 3. 2:30 left

The attendance and atmosphere surrounding the program reminds me of Hatfield's last two years.

Thought we could have done better after the timeout. Too close for comfort

Owls with final possession, tied at 67 with :16.2 left

Yikes!
