As the Rice Owls prepare to welcome the South Florida Bulls to Tudor Fieldhouse for their upcoming women's basketball game, fans are anticipating a competitive clash. The Owls have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, which sets the stage for an intriguing matchup.
In their last three games, the trends have been varied. The Owls faced a tough loss against Houston Cougars with a score of 63-71. Despite starting strong with 19 points in the first quarter and maintaining consistency with another 19 points in the third quarter, they struggled in overtime and ultimately fell short. Their shooting percentages were low with field goals at 35 percent and three-pointers at just 21 percent.
However, they bounced back impressively against Prairie View A&M Panthers with an emphatic victory of 85-59 on home turf. This time around, their shooting improved significantly as they hit 42 percent from both field goals and three-point range while maintaining an excellent free throw percentage at 87 percent.
The following game presented a challenging opponent ranked #23 – Gonzaga Bulldogs – where Rice put up a valiant effort but succumbed with a final score of 72-80. Despite losing, Rice showcased efficient two-point shooting at nearly 57 percent and dominated points in paint but struggled from beyond the arc hitting only about 17 percent.
