Rice Basketball: Is this team for real? — January Patreon Q&A

By

The win over North Texas was incredible, but barely beating UTSA was disappointing. Which version of Rice basketball shows up next time?

If you asked Rice basketball head coach Scott Pera if he’s come down from cloud nine, he might not yet know the answer. Even with practices to attend to and new games to play, the significance of the Owls’ recent upset win over North Texas won’t be lost on Pera. In the standings, it’s one game. But what about in the grand scheme of things? Has this program gotten over the hump? We tackle that in this month’s Patreon Q&A.

After slow start to C-USA play, Rice Women’s Basketball is back in gear

By

It was a strenuous start to conference play for Rice women’s basketball, but a three-game win streak has the Owls back on track.

The first five conference games Lindsay Edmonds coached in with Rice women’s basketball did not go well. Managing a depleted roster bereft of depth and besieged by injuries contributed to an 0-5 start, culminating in a four-overtime defeat on the road against Charlotte.

Rice Women’s Basketball: 2022-2023 New Year’s State of the Program

After a program-best start, Rice women’s basketball has hit a rough patch. Here’s where the Owls stand with the bulk of Conference USA play ahead.

Rice women’s basketball couldn’t have asked for a better start to its 2022-2023 season. The Owls roared out to a 9-0 start, picking up a slew of in-start victories over rival programs and a few hard-fought wins on the west coast as well. Everything was going right… until it wasn’t.

Rice basketball is riding high after a strong winter. Here’s where the Owls stand with the bulk of Conference USA play ahead.

There hasn’t been a better start to a Rice basketball season since the turn of the century, at least, that’s the sort of statistic that creeps up on you when you’ve won 10 of your last 12 games. The Owls are 11-4 on the year to date, their best start since the 2003-2004 season.

Rice Athletics: Where do women’s sports rank in ACC? — December Patreon Q&A

By

Rice Athletics has faired extremely well in women’s sports in Conference USA. Can they maintain that success in the American Conference?

There were so many good questions submitted in our last Q&A request at the tail end of the Rice football season and this one deserved its own acknowledgment. With football finished and the early signing period in the books, now was the perfect time to take a closer look at another good question that came in relating to sports beyond football in the Owls’ new home, specifically the women’s sports. We tackle that in this month’s Patreon Q&A.
