Rice finished the season 17-15. Their best win was the same as ours, which was UCF, who is in the semifinals of the CUSA tourney and currently own a 22-9 record. They sound like a very similar team as us.

I remember that game (have it on VHS)...Rice shot 33 free throws and we shot 5. Dwayne Mitchell threw down a couple hard dunks though in the 5 point loss
