ANALYSIS: Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Rice should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Haslametrics has them ranked 280th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 7-24. Of the 14 schools in Conference USA (average ranking 163.7), they're currently ranked as our #13 team in the conference.
Rice is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #271 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 96 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Rice has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.00, which ranks 318th in D1. Rice also won't enter the conversation if you're looking to list the best three-point shooting teams in the country. They are ranked 305th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 32.4% of their attempts from long 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 #265 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Rice struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 302nd in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.25 vs. AO. Rice will also fail to secure many opportunities to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #301 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.32 vs. AO.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.

In their other contests, Rice performs better than the norm 80% of the time.
Rice does worse vs. clubs that allow a greater number of field goal opportunities. When playing squads that have a defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 79.68, Rice performs above average 22% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 73% of the time.
