3 hours until 2pm tipoff at Tudor against the 8th ranked Longhorns...

We're 0-for-5 against UT so far this year across all sports by my count (VB, MCC, WCCx2, FB) but this is the first time a Longhorn team has the privilege of competing on the Rice Campus.

Let's welcome them heartily and give 'em all we've got.

If you're in town get over there for the game. Go Owls!!

Ladies are playing it tough.

Rice 20 ut 14 at end of 1st period.

Decent crowd. Lower sections fairly full. More Rice fans than ut.

Rainey filling it up on offense. But she needs help.

ut 32 Rice 28 at half.

Go Rice!!!!

Playing good half court D but we can't run with them.

Ten straight possessions without a bucket. Still in range at 30-39 though. 4:21 left in 3rd quarter

And can't hit the broad side if a barn OWL on offense.

I'll take that as a starting point..

Missing too many free throws.

Wow and Rainey misses two from the charity stripe. Fast break the other way and now 30-41.

Agree.

We look to be out rebounding them as well. Limiting their second chances.

We have to find some additional offense.

Trying 3 pointers but not hitting them.

Outscored 14-2 in third. ut 46 Rice 30

Broke the drought, staying tough but not closing the gap either. 37-52, 5 min to go

47-70 final, UT scored last 6+ to make final margin sound larger than it should for a well fought game.
Sounds like we just didn't have the shooting touch after first quarter.
