ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Rice should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Their record this season is 11-21, and the club is ranked 206th overall (out of 362) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #13 team (out of 14) in the AAC (average ranking 135.3).

Rice will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 174th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rice fares better than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the basket. The team is ranked 77th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 61.6% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Rice doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 265th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Rice does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 349th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.0% of their attempts from afar. Rice is also extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #346 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.53 vs. AO. If Rice does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to prevent opponents from draining shot attempts in between the three-point line and the low post. AO will convert just 34.6% of their mid-range field goal attempts, and the team is nationally ranked 23rd-best in that category as a result.

Rice has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 321st in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. On the road, Rice performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 39th in our away-from-home metric.
