69-56 Rice with 3 and change left. UTEP pressing heavy now. Just need to take care of the ball. Don't do anything silly.

Physical rebound and assist by Austin might ice the game. 71-56 Rice with 1:43 left.

Rice wins. Probably the best performance we've had in conference play. Looked more confident on both ends of the floor. Hopefully something to build on.

Definitely a positive 2H.

Maybe most positively, UTEP didn't really create much in the half court. They had 10 fast break points and 24 second chance points, which accounts for more than half of their scoring.

We're 2-4 in conference with the 2 wins being over a decent UTEP team. UTEP is 4-2 - the only 2 losses are against (well you get the point).

Schedule gets a bit easier now. Perhaps we can go back on a win streak.

I am surprised Fatah Saamb doesn't play more. She held her own against MT and very aggressive.

Is there a chance Maya comes back this year or is she out for the year?
