Wow. Lot of energy here. First half was nice.

Good half! We look good! Just need to improve our offensive rebounding.

My first time watching the boys (on video) this season. Holy crap, Murphy's heck of an athlete

I'd love to see us isolate Murphy some more. He can get his shot up over anybody and he's a good enough athlete where he'll beat guys off the dribble who are too tight to him, as that dunk showed.

At Hofheinz with no tickets, we crash a deep pockets UH alum party and are giving mid court seats three rows up. Thought we might not make it out alive except for the fact that everyone around us was 40 years our seniors and humored the Rice students who had the gall to ask to witness what turned out to be some of the best 39 minutes of Owl basketball ever.

1982 a memorable close game with future NBA greats on both sides!

UH starting strong in the 2nd half, lead down to three. 41-38. Then Martin hits a 3, 44-38.

Grimes walks on every drive.

I know but it’s just so painfully obvious. Then they call a foul on us after he takes 3 steps from the 3pt line.

83 ish at Autry,, Sammy and shasta, got into a rumble,, Sammy's head got knocked out and the student mascot got a nice head gash. Had a front row set for that one

I have an uneasy feeling. Like a quick Houston run is coming. Still just a 1 point game though.

And every time it looks like Houston is going to make a run, somebody steps up and makes a play. Confident stroke from Peterson.

Now Peterson hitting shots!

That's a massive turn of events. Rice up 7 on a break, sloppy break and TO, and Houston gets an and-1.

Man... Keep looking at the clock wishing it would go a lot faster.

77-71. 5:29 left.

Mullins should probably stop shooting. I know he needs to or defenders will just play the drive, but his shot just doesn't look good right now.

Also love Sampson going to zone with his last timeout.

4:14, 77-76.

Giving up 3's now, Rice down 78-82. 3 mins left.

Zone has us absolutely befuddled. Great adjustment by Houston.
