Betting Preview
Rice Scoring Some Points
The Rice Owls are not expected to be near the top of the NCAAB standings this season, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t do things well. Rice is scoring 88.5 points per game on the year which is great, but they are also allowing over 73 points per game.
This NCAAB Rice roster is filled with some talent, but they are going to be at a size disadvantage against the Longhorns. Forward Max Fielder leads the team with 14.5 points per game, but he won’t find a ton of room to operate down low in this matchup.
Defense is going to be a major focus for Rice on Wednesday night, but it’s not going to be easy for them to get stops at all. You should expect the Rice Owls to try to slow down the tempo and pace of this game, but playing on the road will make that a challenge.
Texas is Playing Some Great Defense
The NCAAB Texas Longhorns schedule is going to get tougher as the year moves along, but this team has been dominant up to this point. Texas is coming into this game allowing just 57.5 points per game, and they have been completely shutting down most of their opponents.
You don’t really have to worry about NCAAB injuries this early in the season and that will allow the best Texas players to be on the floor in this game. Texas will be trying to push the tempo on offense, and then simply locking down when Rice has the basketball.
Ithiel Horton is leading the team with 17.5 points per game this season, but there are a ton of players on this roster who can score some points. This should be another tune-up type game for Texas and it will allow them to work on some things that they will need to use later in the year.
