Good video on Stadium -- http://player.watchstadium.com/webapp/ne..._section=1

But blatant-home New Mexico audio commentators (simulcast of the UNM radio broadcast, I think).

Owls take a solid 7-2 lead, but several ball-handling errors allow Lobos to tie it at 9.

(Every UNM basket gets a video replay ... none of the Owls' do.)

12-13 at first timeout.

Neither PC running Firefox or IPad is stable at all for me....must have better bandwidth to the left of New Mexico compared to the right.

Bad ending to the quarter. NM leads 21-14.

Lots of turnovers and missed shots. NM extends lead,27-17.

Now 32-17...

32-17 now, 5:18 left in 2Q. Rice has 10 turnovers.

UNM on a 16-3 run.

No inside game and no ability to drive and dish the way Maya could last year hurts. We also at this point are not just very quick all over the floor. The thinness of the bench has hurt us all year but against most of CUSA and in some games, like at A&M, it didn't prove a problem. I was hoping a good showing might get us a pre-season WNIT slot which would really help as we re-tool the lineup.

Don't think we've realized the game's started yet. Perplexing play on both ends. Silly TOs + I think half of UNM's looks have been uncontested.

With a minute to go the points off turnovers stood at 18-0!!!!

Refs also aren't giving us any breaks. The baseline ref on Nicole's last drive signaled that the UNM defender went straight up, seemingly not knowing that the most recent rule change made it so that a defender inside the arc needs to jump regardless of whether they went straight up. But why would we expect refs to know the rules.

Rice started quickly, getting off to a 7-2 lead and looked sharp and efficient. The the silly TOs started. Sigh.

Well it was another step in the right direction. Looking forward to a healthy season next year.

59-78 at just under 7:00 to go.

Holding steady after the horrific final 3 min in 1Q and the whole 2Q. Points off turnovers going to 4Q 4-20.

18 pt differential in the late first And in the second leads to a 93-73 loss.

Nice game by Erica (31 points, 10 rebounds). Congrats to Wendy Knight on a great Rice career. But she and Nicole seemed worn down at the end of the year which was totally understandable. Hopefully we stay healthy next year and have the depth needed to get to the next level.

3300 folks at the Pit. They will host TCU next.

One thing we need for Rice women's basketball to get to the next level (or any Rice program) is better fan support.

Thank you to Coach Langley, her staff and players--- it was great fun to watch the Lady Owls play this year!

Not surprising since we are one of the worst fast break teams I've ever witnessed. One of the few areas we really need to work on next season. No question the spate of season-ending injuriies and resulting 7 - 8 man rotation wore the team down over the final 4 - 6 weeks of the season. Nicole, in particular, was a totally different player the first half of the season vs. the second half.

Really looking forward to next year, when we should be serious contenders for a conference championship and NCAA birth.
