Rice comes in at 4-15 overall and 1-5 on Conference USA play. They fell to Southern Miss 86-75 last night.
They have only beaten two division 1 teams all year. They beat Charlotte by 9 and Northwestern State by 22.
Scott Pera is in his first season as head coach. He served as the associate Head Coach for 3 years before becoming the head man. He recruited James Harden to Arizona State when he was an assistant under Herb Sendek.
Connor Cashaw leads the Owls in scoring, he’s averaging 16 points per game. Cashaw is a junior that started 35 games a year ago. He is one of a few Rice players that did stick around when Mike Rhoades headed to VCU after last season.
Ako Adams is the final Owl averaging double figures with 10 points per game.
They are 1-7 on the road this year with the one win coming at Charlotte.
They average 68 points per game and shoot 41% from the field.
They are averaging 17 turnovers per game while only forcing 13.
Tech should win this game easily, but we’ve seen how these games can go. No game will be easy in conference play for this Tech team. Hopefully the freshmen don’t have to carry such a big load tomorrow night.
