Rice vs North Texas Prediction : Rice is Pretty Tough
With the exception of a couple of games when it was still football season in November, Rice has played everyone pretty tough this campaign, including pushing highly-ranked Texas in Austin.
The key for HC Scott Pera? Pressure, but it comes from the offensive end, as the Owls force the opposition to defend the complete 47 feet in halfcourt, with Gs Quincy Olivari (19.1 ppg) and Travis Evee (16.6 ppg) bombing away at will from the perimeter, combining to take a staggering 258 triples between them while converting an impressive 38%.
Though foes have to guard the paint, too, against 6-11 Max Fiedler, who hits 77% of his FG tries, mostly within five feet of the basket. Add it up and it’s an 82 ppg offense that can stretch opposing defenses beyond recognition.
UNT Has a Decent Defense
Good for UNT that it’s pretty sticky on the stop end, ranking third in scoring defense (54.4 ppg), setting up quite a contrast tonight in the Super Pit.
Grant McCasland, however, hasn’t been getting enough scoring from his troops to feel really comfortable, as along with respect (too much, perhaps?) from the oddsmakers, the Mean Green has covered only one of its last seven games , with top scorer G Tylor Perry (17.6 ppg) often asked to carry too much of the offensive burden in recent weeks.
Rice vs North Texas Prediction: A Tough Call
We’re also quite curious to see if the UNT defense can alter the Owls “totals” course which has been almost non-stop “overs” (10-1) since the start of December, though worth noting UNT did handle a lesser Rice without much trouble on all three occasions last year.
The Ultimate Betting Prediction: Play Rice Moneyline and the Over.
