Rice Basketball: Still searching for consistency and recurring “A-game”

By

An up-and-down Rice Basketball season marches on. Where do the Owls stand and what do they need to do to finish strong?

The story of the 2022-2023 Rice basketball season takes more than two games to tell, but the juxtaposition of the Owls’ dominant win on the road against North Texas on January 19 against a frustrating 10-point loss to the same squad at home 16 days later more or less sums up the kind of year it’s been for the Owls on the court.

At their best, they can hang with the league’s upper tier. But they’re not at their best every night, and therein lies the problem and the questions, many of which remain unanswered.

Rice Football: 2022 Postseason Transfer Portal update

By

Rice football has lost a handful of players to the Transfer Portal since the season ended. Who is heading out and what impact will that have on the Owls?

If the Rice football season spans from August to November, the month or so that follows is Transfer Portal season. After making a bowl game for the first time in eight years, outgoing transfers have been few this offseason.

Why are players entering the portal now? Exit interviews are done. A new semester has arrived. All parties involved from the athletes to the programs want a clear picture of where things stand before spring practices get underway in a few months. For better or worse, it’s transfer time.

No program is immune from that rhythm. Just as Rice football has benefited from the portal, it’s had its defectors too.

Here’s a quick rundown from last February on the matter, but a recent update with JT Daniels, Isaiah Esdale and others included would only be even more compelling.

With signing day looming, here are the Rice football players that have reportedly entered the Transfer Portal thus far:
