Rice at UAB, Thursday 17 February 2022

Rice is 6-6 and 14-10. Last Saturday they lost a home game to North Texas, 67-44. Rice was down 34-18 at halftime. They are 3-2 over their last five games.

UAB lost at Rice back on Jan. 8th, 85-80. Rice went 25-30 from the foul line in that game. UAB only had 12 free throw attempts. UAB led 64-60 with 7 minutes left. Rice went on a 12-2 run, which led UAB to start fouling. Rice scored 10 points in the very last minute because of UAB having to foul.

Rice’s best win was over UAB, by far. Did I mention North Texas just beat them by 23? LA Tech beat them by 17! Their worst loss was to Charlotte, 67-64, in Houston.

Rice is 4-4 on the road. They did win at Marshall by 10, and at USM by 14.

NET Rankings:
UAB - 51
Rice - 195

KenPom:
UAB - 49
Rice - 203

Massey Composite:
UAB - 57
Rice - 181

KenPom has it UAB 83 - Rice 69

RE: Rice
One of three face-palming embarrassments from this year's team.

We let their back up big man who scored around 4.5 points a game drop 18 on us in a 5-5 fg and 8-9 ft shooting peformance.

Unfathomably bad defense and play against an inferior team, part of a now well-established pattern for this team.

I wouldn't be surprised if we lose to them again or if we beat them by 20+. You never know what level of effort and how locked in this team will be from game to game.

Mylyjael Poteat, 6-9 260 Fr., has started the last two games for Rice. Those are his only starts so far this season.

He was the one who scorched us off the bench.

RE: Rice
RICE (195) at UAB (48)

All-Time Series Record: UAB leads the series 17-3 (UAB leads 9-1 in Birmingham)

Last Meeting: Rice 85, UAB 80 (1/8/22 in Houston, TX)
Last Meeting in Birmingham: UAB 86, Rice 74 (1/24/21)
First Meeting: UAB 78, Old Dominion 60 (12/29/80 at BJCC)

Games played on February 17th: 4-4* (0-2 in Birmingham)

* 2 games scheduled for 2/17 were not played on that date:
• In 1979, UAB was to play Hawaii in Honolulu, the second of 2 scheduled road games against the Rainbow Warriors. UAB in it's first season was labeled an associate member of the NCAA playing within Division I. UAB presented the NCAA with a challenge as the program began in Division I and all NCAA regulations dealt with teams moving up into Division I. They never considered a program starting in Division I. There was some confusion as to whether games against the Blazers would count as a Division I game on the opponents schedules or not. UAB had scheduled a west coast/Hawaii road swing for early 1979. Just before the trip the NCAA ruled that as an Associate Member the Blazers would count as a Non-Division I opponent. This ruling caused a number of games to be cancelled to get those opponents within there allowed number of non D-I opponents. In addition to Hawaii, road games were cancelled with San Diego, Air Force and Houston Baptist. UAB was able to replace one of those games with quickly added home game against Drexel.

• In 2021, a home game against Rust College was postponed to 2/18 due to a snow storm that affected northern Mississippi. The game was again postponed on 2/18 and was eventually played on 2/22.

UAB is 580-157 all-time in games played in the State of Alabama
UAB is 556-142 all-time in games played in the City of Birmingham
UAB is 412-99 all-time in games played on campus

UAB is 105-36 all-time in games played against teams from Texas.

RE: Rice
My guess is that the crowd is going to be pretty poor tonight because of the weather scare

RE: Rice
Is Leblanc there in uniform or not? Or is his knee and tricep illness still keeping him away from the team mysteriously?

RE: Rice
I still don’t see Leblanc on the bench. I’ve never heard of a knee and tricep illness that keeps a player off the bench supporting his team for multiple games. This is a very weird situation.

Leblanc is out with a different injury every game. Love our coach and team but this just seems sketchy.

Figured it’d be a light crowd. Pretty sure the campus was under a tornado warning just an hour or so ago. Props to the fans that made it out.
