I'm still smarting from last night's Furman play, easily my worst of the season as it turned out (well, the models loved it). Not super shocked the Paladins lost at home, but they didn't even show up against a bitter rival. Guessing those dudes were running stairs early this morning. This number has come down a fair amount on Rice, but I don't know of any injury issues. Our model has the Owls by 7 and ESPN BPI has them by 5.3. UTSA has one road victory this season. Rice is second in the AAC in scoring defense (66.2 ppg) and FG percentage defense (39.5%) and third in rebounding (39.3 per game).
