Thursday, November 27, 2014 - 9:30 PM ET
Alaska Airlines Center, Anchorage, Alaska

Brrrrrrrr ya'll!
As an Atlanta-area Rice alum, wanted to say hello to you down in Macon. I know ya'll had a great season last year, and look forward to a great game in our schools' first-ever meeting on the hardwood.
Hoping for a good game with our new head coach, Mike Rhodes, former top assistant from VCU! Go Owls!

following on our board as well. A few more posters there, but not many.
Rice up 19-17, with Mercer at the line.
TV had a microphone isolated on your coach a bit ago and he was really hammering on ya'll's players.
19-18 at 7:35 in 1H.

Mercer with a 3 to start 2H. Now up by 10. 38-28 Mercer leads Rice early in 2H. Guess your coach had more "discussion" with your team in the locker room!

Final Mercer beats Rice 77-71. in OT. Great effort to come back from 15 pts down to force overtime against a very good Mercer team.
Great game fellas, but we won't lose these kind for long once the Owls get some depth. Have a great season!

Nov 29 Mercer vs PACIFIC
L 55-48
Nov 28 Rice vs WSU
