Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, November 22, 2005

Rice stunned Texas Tech in Houston. The Owls used good post play and a tricky defensive scheme to take down the Red Raiders.
Lauren Neaves had 27 points and 18 rebounds.

"I told our players in the locker room that we got exactly what we deserved," coach Sharp said.

Rice had lost 22 straight to Tech. In its only other game this year, it lost by almost 50 to Mississippi. "I'm just really proud of our team, because we had quite an opening-game loss over at Ole Miss," coach Greg Williams said. "We knew we were better than how we performed, but we had to come out and show it in a game situation. We had some really standout performances defensively."
