Uphill battle without Murphy. Same starting five as yesterday.

Well it's not watchable (unless you pay an obscene amount). And it's not followable by stat tracker. And it's not available via radio because of technical difficulties. So I think you could argue that if Rice loses today, the game didn't actually happen.

Yea the price they wanted was ridiculous.

Liberty's radio broadcast isn't actually awful so far. Seems objective enough.

Rice down 1 with Martin going to the line for two. Martin with a mini 5-0 run. Parrish has scored a couple buckets. Crisler with his first career 3pt make.

Can you post the liberty radio link?

Can’t find it.

Quick 10-0 Liberty run gives them a 9 point lead.

Liberty up 31-20. Stating the obvious but not having Murphy's shooting threat is hurting us.

Liberty up 35-20 at the half. All around awful basketball from both sets of Owls today. Martin has 11, Parrish 4, Crisler 3, Mullins 2.

42-20 Liberty. Let's lose by fewer than the women.

Penn is about to win @Providence FWIW.

For sure, but FWIW they are missing their leading scorer.

Yeah it kind of cancels out but Liberty have 7 other guys who average 5+ ppg. Homesley being out hurts them, but Murphy being out takes away the key cog in our offense.

56-43 according to Twitter. 9-2 Rice run.

Men are coming back ... down only 13 with 6:30 left. (Women lost by 31!!)

58-48 Liberty. Gotta hand it to the men, they have absolutely no quit in then (going to conveniently ignore Arkansas).

Liberty's gonna hang on. Good job to fight back from 20+ down, but dug too big a hole in the first half. 71-59. Win tomorrow and the trip will have been fine, especially sans Murphy.

I will take 2-1 on the trip. This was a game where even with Murphy we were a fair underdog.

We were listed as 8 point underdogs for today’s game. Good go at it. We’re getting there

Sunday we meet East Carolina (KenPom #238 ... we're #166).

Tipoff for our 3rd-place game is scheduled for 4 p.m. Central time ... after the games for 7th (10 a.m.) and 5th place (1 p.m.)

Game starts on time ... Both teams take a while to score ... but Ako Adams finally nails a 3. Then a quick Mullins finger roll. 5-0, Rice.

Ako again!!

8-0 ... 16:22 left in 1H
