AJ is on the floor for pregame but I'm told he won't play. Holding him for conference games.

Quick look at the Bobcat roster shows 3 @ 6'7" and 3 more @ 6'8". Could be a long night for the Owls.

45 minutes to tip and TxSt fans filing in. I'm sure there are many Owl fans in Traubner awaiting the klaxton to start the game.

Apparently it is open seating tonight at Tudor....and I thought it was only UH fans who thought buying the cheapest ticket meant you could sit anywhere you wanted at Rice home games.

Bishop has a mask on so I'm guessing he will play.

The pre-game graphic for the CUSAtv broadcast shows Rice vs UL-Monroe. Nice.

So much for the ushers and "black suits" on duty

TO 15:58 to go Rice up 9- 7. TxSt point guard is giving Lester all ge can't handle so far.

TO with 11:37 left in 1st. Tied at 13

Tx State controlling the boards early. Rice 15 - 13 at 10:50 mark.

Little too much individual play so far. Ball isn't hot enough yet.

TO at 7:25 left. Tied at 17. Rice can't buy an offensive rebound.

Lester with a couple 3s, and Rice leads 25 - 17 at 6:00 mark. Mency starting to get active on the boards.

3:59 left in 1st, Rice up 28 - 25.

Bishop's 3 at the buzzer ties the game at 33 as the 1st half closes.

Tx State closes out final 10 minutes of half on 16-6 run to take 31 - 33 lead. Man, seems like every game we have at least one stretch of close to 10 minutes without hitting a FG.

33-33 at half. All in all a pretty good defensive half apart from some struggles with their big boys inside.

??? If that 3 counted, then it would be 34 - 33 Rice, no?

Thank you...and Bishop was on the bench as the half closed.

Turning the updates over go those who see better than I.
