Rice +4

[Felonious Monk]

Bought the hook (carib) 3 Units.

Both teams will probably flip flop leads throughout the game but Rice has the definite size advantage and should control the boards. UTEP will be looking for revenge in their house this time around but Rice knows how to beat this team and Memorial Gymnasium in El Paso is not exactly a stiff test.

If Rice can establish a late lead in the game, they have 2 very good FT shooters in McKrieth and Smith who can put the game away for a win.

Also playing NC for 1 Unit.

i like rice as well tonight, but uteps play at home is what scares me. :shrug: theyve lost once at home all year and have had plenty of blowouts. what am i missing? like the owls, but that home court seems strong

Good luck and thanks for the info...Chicago Sun Times today had Rice as a sleeper pick to get into the tourney as well

let me rephrase. The Haskins Center is a nice facility and they have a great record there but IMO I just don't think it's the type of environment that will shake Rice out of their game, especially having the confidence coming in that they know how to beat this team.

Rice will certainly have to bring their A game but I just feel that it will be a close one either way and they should hang within the number. Also, Rice has been one of those money teams for me whenever I bet them. Hoping the streak continues tonight!

GL to you G

Glad to see you on the heels too!

I really like NC tonight getting points at home. I was thinking of upping my bet but I like to keep it off balanced and for now Rice is my bigger bet. I'll watch the 1st half and then make a 2nd half wager if I see something I like.

Go Heels! :toast:
