Brrrrrrrr ya'll!

As an Atlanta-area Rice alum, wanted to say hello to you down in Macon. I know ya'll had a great season last year, and look forward to a great game in our schools' first-ever meeting on the hardwood.

Hoping for a good game with our new head coach, Mike Rhodes, former top assistant from VCU! Go Owls!

I think this board died about 2 months ago....

We're Rice! We're Rice! We Definitely Ain't Duke! (not yet, anyway.)

Rice up by 5 early.

Rice up 14-10.

following on our board as well. A few more posters there, but not many.

Rice up 19-17, with Mercer at the line.

TV had a microphone isolated on your coach a bit ago and he was really hammering on ya'll's players.

19-18 at 7:35 in 1H.

Mercer now up 23-21 for their first lead of the game.

at the half, Mercer leads Rice 33-28.

Mercer out-rebounding the Owls as well.

Mercer with a 3 to start 2H. Now up by 10. 38-28 Mercer leads Rice early in 2H. Guess your coach had more "discussion" with your team in the locker room!

Mercer 53-49 6:11 left. Mercer lead had been up to 15 pts at one point.

Mercer lead now down to 53-50.

Four point play try for Mercer's Bryan- 3 pointer rolls in, and the foul by Mency on Mercer player. Now 59-57 Mercer. 3:20 left in 2H.

Diceman? What do you have to say?





Mercer leads

61-59 54.4 seconds left. REALLY proud how Owls fought back no matter what. Mercer is a good team.

Tied at 61 with 8 seconds left. What a game!

Rice ball. Timeout Rice.

Mency couldn't get it to go for Rice. Going to Overtime! 61-61!

In OT Mercer up 63-61 4:00 left.

Dunk for Mercer, 67-63 Mercer leads under 3:00 left in OT.

Final Mercer beats Rice 77-71. in OT. Great effort to come back from 15 pts down to force overtime against a very good Mercer team.

Great game fellas, but we won't lose these kind for long once the Owls get some depth. Have a great season!

Rest of the tourney not so great for either of us:
Nov 28 Mercer vs UCSB
L 65-60 OT

Nov 29 Mercer vs PACIFIC
L 55-48

Nov 28 Rice vs WSU
L 76-74

Nov 29 Rice @ UAA
L 65-54

guess we both left a lot on the floor in our overtime game.

have a good rest of the season!

Update: Mercer now 4-1 SoCon, 9-9 overall.
