Since mid-November Rice is 6-3 on the road with the only losses coming at ranked Texas (OT) and FAU, plus a one-possession game at LaTech.
If we can just figure out how to play at home we got a chance to hold that spot. 4 of our last 6 are at home.

Favorable finishing schedule with 4 winnable games in UTSA, WKU, @Charlotte and FIU. But WKU and FIU will be looking to avenge earlier losses to our road warriors and steal the 5 seed away.

Don’t take UTSA for granted, either… we had no business pulling that comeback out at their place and if I were them I’d have that one top of mind when they visit Tudor.

I’m still puzzled over Charlotte having the fourth best NET yet being tied for 9th in the conference, plus Rice being ahead of LaTech in the standings despite two losses to the Bulldogs.

There's so much parity in this league from 1-10. Heck, FAU is very good but 9 of their league wins were 9pts or less, six by 5 or less. When looking at the games played by 2 thru 10, there are countless to the wire games. This year's conference tournament could be wide open. Obviously FAU is the top dog patially because they know how to finish a game but I would not be surprised at all to see two teams in the finals not named UNT or FAU.
