No surprises with the loud crowd. St Eddy comes into the game at 8 - 5. I'm surprised the game is sponsored by an insurance company instead of an ear doctor or Belton Hearing Aids.

TO with 11:52 left in 1st. Rice up 19 - 8. Should be much higher than that.

Well, 32-8 now

Games like this show how much the athleticism has improved on our team since Rhoades got here.

In 2014, we had a legitimately tough time with these guys and only won by ~5.

7:33left in 1st. Rice up 32 - 8.

Another off night shooting for Evans but unlikely to matter

47 - 18 Rice with 3:42 left in 1st.

Rice up 49 - 28 at the half. Playing exceptionaly sloppy ball. This kind of play won't cut it against better teams.

Need to get that corrected by Saturday though.

15 turnovers and only 9 assists. If the team is to take it to the next level they need to reverse those stats.

What's up with Evans? Second consecutive game he's ice cold. 1-9 FG shoot last game, and so far he's 0-6 in this one, with only 2 assists and 5 turnovers. We don't need him on his game against St. Ed's, but we certainly will against Pitt on Saturday.

Some players play to the level of their competition so I am hopeful good Marcus will come back when faced by a challenge like Pitt.

A positive: not a single foul this game by Quez

Actually, a very strong and efficient game by Quez-- 17 minutes, 9 points (2-3 FG), 10 rebounds.

Some minutes here for Addison Owen and Grant Youngkin

2:22 left. 89 - 61, Rice.

Tim Harrison has definitely been a huge disappointment this year. I thought he was going to be a great stretch power forward for us, but he just hasn't put it together, even against a D2 team.

On the other hand, Douglas and Meyer have exceeded my expectations and there's only so much playing time.

93 - 64 Rice wins.
