Team's going through one of their unwatchable phases. Lost on offense. Down 8

19-16 UAB. Defense has actually been pretty good.

27-22 UAB at the half after an Ako bomb at the buzzer. Defense has been solid for the most part. Definitely some breakdowns but considering how well UAB is passing, 27 points is very good.

Mini 5-0 Rice run forces a UAB timeout. Bishop might end up taking 15 shots in this one if UAB continues to let him shoot.

Owls down 1 at 16:26 mark.

40-37 Rice at the under-12. Defense becoming a little suspect but we're getting looks on O. Dylan just isn't playable right now. Won't look to pass on offense and isn't good enough on D.

Not many FTs thus far, but the Owls are 0-4.

Rice leads 45-42 at the under-8. Defense continues to be solid. But I don't think we can win unless we start capitalizing on some of these good looks.

5 point lead with about 6 to play.

Rice leads by 7 after Malik catches a body and Connor cuts backdoor.

Rice still leads by 7 at the under-4 with FTs coming after the break. Questionable call after a UAB player appeared to bat a ball out of bounds but UAB given the ball.

Connor makes both FTs to push the Owl lead to 9.

Cmon Rice. Hold that lead.

UAB cuts it to 4 on back-to-back massive Cokley dunks, one including a silly Rice foul. My confidence bar is not high.

Lead down to 4 at 2:53 mark.

Finish this Owls!

UAB flops for an offensive foul call, and now this thing is really getting started. It's also fun not getting to actually watch the game and instead just watch the "Make Some Noise" graphics.

UAB 3 makes it a 2 point game with about 2 minutes then go.

Rice ball after steal with 1:20 to play. Owls still up by 2.

TO and 3 by UAB puts the Blazers up by 1. Grrr!

Rice gets ball back on TO with 21 seconds to play.
