Rice is a pretty "douchie" school. Their band and this coach fit the description.

We should beat the William Marsh Rice Institute for the Advancement of Literature, Science and Art but we're going to need a big game from our bigs. Rice's 6'11' forward had a triple double the other day and leads their team in rebounds and assists per game. Then there's Olivari, with three 30 point games on the season, averaging 19.1 ppg. The team averages 82 points per game and just under 38 boards per game but appears to play no defense so the opportunities will be there to put up points. That said, slow the pace, play our game, and we should win.

Cheesy rice .

Win or lose, one thing I've felt confident in this season is that every time out, we've got a legitimate shot to win the game. You might think that's a minor deal, but I'd say that's a sign of the strides we've seen this program make under Mac. No game IMO feels truly out of reach. Hoping this team can keep on improving as we get into the home stretch! GMG

Post-game lack of handshakes getting a bit of traction on mid-major Twitter. Unsurprising. I love how passionate Pera is, but it's over the top sometimes, especially for somebody who hasn't exactly met expectations. I've said before that he's probably the least liked HC in CUSA and stuff like this doesn't help. It's perfectly acceptable to celebrate a game winner. But contain it to the moment, compose yourself and shake hands, and then go nuts in the locker room.

If we look over our shoulder, Rice is right behind us in the standings as of today.

I hope the student section rides the Rice coach hard tonight.

i hadn't seen it until this... but that coach seems very weird

Glad we have Mac

My hopes for tonight:

* Abou rediscovers his game.

* Huntsberry and Martinez continue to contribute.

* Eady finds his stroke.

* Stone scores in double figures

* Rubin continues driving to the rim.

* TP is TP.

* Perra has a meltdown.

I want us to hang 80+ and I want Pera to flip off the student section!!
