Pretty much hasn’t played in the 2nd half. I remember he grabbed his face after a rebound but I’m not sure if it was anything.

Definitely weird. He's typically the guy Pera trusts in these situations.

Tied at 70 with 45 seconds left. Pera neeeeeds to run a 2 for 1 here. Find your best quick hitter play in the playbook and run it.

He and Mullins are our most reliable FT shooters.

Wow. Robert Martin has taken control of the game the last 1:30. Huge 3-pointer puts Rice in lead....only to be answered by UTEP.

Rob hits a 3. Thomas responds with a 3 for UTEP. But we will have a chance to win it with 16 seconds left.

Refs swallow their whistles. Onto 2OT.

Refs miss what was *probably* a foul, but I'm honestly fine with the no call. It was a soft try to draw the charge but the contact was minimal.

Glad we’re driving there though. UTEPs big is out and if you get contact you should be able to go to the line.

Ako once again starting the second OT period on the bench. Pera riding the same 5. Also the video went out.

No one wants to shoot in any of the OTs save for Martin.

CUSAtv goes out. What a garbage product.

The score ticker is still working ... but no audio or video. Grrr. (Someone must have had a hard stop after one overtime.)

I'm almost more stressed out waiting for the stat feed to update than I am watching the game.

Layup "gives Rice its largest lead of the game - 3!

81-78 ... now with 31 ticks left.

Well Rice leads by 3 with 30+ seconds left. Let's see how we handle not turning it over and hitting our FTs.

There's one FT miss.

81-78 Rice ball, :30 sec left. UTEP fouls

Mullins 1 of 2

Close it out owls!

UTEP hits a 3 to make it a 2 point game (*bangs head on desk*). More FTs.
