ANALYSIS:
Rice presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Their record this season is 7-24, and the club is ranked 289th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the worst team (out of 14) in Conference USA (average ranking 170.5).

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Rice. The team is ranked 281st in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 96 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rice tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.56, which ranks 333rd in D1. Rice also has a hard time converting field goals attempts on offense. The team is rated #310 in the country in field goal percentage, making good on a meager 41.1% of their attempts vs. AO.

Rice doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #262 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Rice does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #315 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.10 vs. AO. Rice also struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 310th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.36 vs. AO.
