In the house tonight....

Another multi-minute dry spell for Rice

A lot of good shots have rimmed out.

Another good crowd. Go marketing.

With better shooting, Rice would have a double-digit lead by now. Frustrating. 28-27 USM at the half.

If you have Periscope Chuck streamed the ceremony.

You would think the Blue Curtain was back with the way shots were rimming out.

Found something that works... and nice to see we're sticking with it. 3 plays in a row to Drone underneath. 3 baskets in row.

Rice up 38-33 with 17 minutes left... Igor hits a 3. Rice outscoring SM 12-6 so far in the 2nd half.

Finally getting to our pace

I get the feeling that Drone is going to be the determining factor in whether or not we improve in a major way next year. Drone isn't a natural; he's only going to be good if he "learns" the game. And there are times when he looks like he's been a really good student.

With the reinforcements we have coming in next year, a consistent Drone could really push us over the top. And by "top," I mean legitimately challenging for a conference title.

AND those returning from injury

Our ball movement has been excellent in the second half.

I was implicitly including them. Obviously getting Jackson back and having Lott finally play will be huge.

I think we know what the improvement arcs of some of these guys are going to be more or less. The question is whether or not Drone can have a steady senior year. If he does...

Beginning to see shades of the team we will have next year.

58-46 Rice at the sub-8 TO.

OMG, MLE is gonna be terrific next year. You can just see the ability.
