Owls Top Trojans
BRRRRRRRRR!
I'm back from Reliant Arena; and, my body is finally back to 98.6 degrees. If you attend a basketball game at Reliant Arena this season or in the future, heed this advice: bring a jacket (or a coat). You'll need it. Trust me.
The Rice Owls women's team defeated Arkansas - Little Rock, inside the cold and drafty Reliant Arena, 49 to 39. The game was filled with defense (or perhaps both teams simply were too cold to make any baskets). The Trojans shot 26.4% (14 for 53 from the field) while Rice made just 33.3% (16 for 48) of its field goal attempts.
Neither team took care of the ball either: UALR committed 20 turnovers; the Owls turned the ball over 25 times. (The Owls played the game without senior point guard Kadie Riverin who sat out the game with an injured ankle.) Riverin's absence was sorely missed.
Rice (5-1) was led by senior center Valeriya Berezhynska's 18 points -- in just 20 minutes of action. Val sat most of the first half due to foul trouble.
UALR (2-2) was led by senior Nikya Hughes' 10 points.
Rice led 18 to 15 at halftime.
Berezhynska scored 10 straight points during a 15 to 5 run to help the Owls gain control of the game. Freshman post Morgan Mayse added nine points (4 for 6 from the field) for the Owls.
Rice heads to Colorado later this week to participate in the Coors Classic. This Friday, November 23, the Owls will play the Clemson Tigers who are coached by former Owls head coach Cristy McKinney. Tip - off is set for 6pm (CST).
