Who's Playing
Rice @ No. 2 Texas
Current Records: Rice 6-2; Texas 7-1
What to Know
The Rice Owls' road trip will continue as they head to Moody Center at 8 p.m. ET Monday to face off against the #2 Texas Longhorns. These two teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.
Rice had enough points to win and then some against the Texas State-San Marcos Bobcats last week, taking their contest 83-71.
Meanwhile, the sound you heard this past Saturday was the absolute smackdown the Longhorns laid on the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions. Forward Christian Bishop was the offensive standout of the game for Texas, picking up 16 points in addition to nine rebounds.
Rice is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
The wins brought Rice up to 6-2 and Texas to 7-1. The Owls are 4-1 after wins this season, the Longhorns 5-1.
