Rice's big man Fiedler causing us trouble with screens and defending the low post. Rice up 12-9 at 1st media break

Rice hits 5 of their 1st 7 FG attempts including 2-2 from three

18 all inside of 12 minutes. Both teams moving and sharing the ball well and shooting well. This Rice team is playing good basketball lately and undoubtedly got a confidence boost with their win @ Memphis

Rice now 4-6 from three; SMU 2-6

SMU now throwing up some ugly three attempts from the left side as Rice doing a good job defending the paint

Every team we play against lately looks like they’re playing with a lot of confidence.

Time to break out the full court press.

Phelps doing a nice job of getting into the paint for short jumpers but SMU down 5 now under 6 minutes. Owls have hit 6-10 threes

Rice with 9 assists on 12 made FGs really moving the ball well

Rice is just making us look bad and we are not a bad team. This game tells me anyone can beat anyone in this conference. Post season tournament could be wild and full of upsets. Of course, we are 2-11 on threes whereas Rice is 6-12 so far

Wright and Jalen start knocking down threes and just like that SMU finishes the 1st half on a 14-2 run to go up 40-37

Ricardo Wright leading SMU with 10 points on 3-6 threes. Phelps with 8 points on 4-6 shooting. All but Lanier and Tyreek scored in that 1st half. All 8 Rice players have scored and the Owls have 10 assists on 15 made FGs. Rice really moving and sharing the ball well

Regression to the mean?

Guys will need to turn up the defensive intensity like they did against UAB to cool Rice off and pull this one out

Great response by our guys coming out of the half. Another 15-2 run to get to a 55-39 lead
