BIH, P, Western Civilization?

[Matt from A700]

North Texas 65, Rice 56. As long as we guard from the 3-point line.

BASKETBALL BREAKDOWN: Rice Owls

When you get into tourney play its all about match-ups. I happen to think this a good match-up for NT. Rice is not a good defensive team. NT shouldn't have much trouble getting open looks. For NT this game is about using their athleticism to make Rice feel uncomfortable. I expect NT to come out scrapping and forcing TO's. As long as Rice doesn't start knocking down 3's unconsciously then the Mean Green should win.

Out inability to play two solid halves might lead to a one-and-done in the conference tournament. If the team plays to its abilities we could advance as far as the semi-finals but my confidence in advancing just one game into the tournament is small.

their ability to shoot the 3 scares the crap out of me honestly. Sometimes we cant seem to find our man on defense and shooters are left wide open.

Especially when you have a guy like Max Guercy who can easily break down a defense and get open looks for his teammates. At times it seems like Rice drives to kick, they don't really drive to score.

We played them pretty well in Houston. They started hitting threes late and got back in it, but really we would have won easier if we hit free throws.

Owls up 10-6 at the media timeout. They have defiantly come out with a fire lit under them and we are flat on defense.

[Rudy]

Maybe we should try and defend the 3?

[Travis Scott]

Guard the effing 3!!!!!
