Owls Host Georgia St. in Search of 3rd Straight Win
After picking up a win in the home opener, the Rice Owls (2-2) return to Tudor Fieldhouse to face the Georgia State Panthers (3-0) Friday at 2 p.m. Rice has averaged 77.5 points with consecutive wins over Little Rock and Texas Southern while GSU begins a four-game road stretch having started the season 3-0. The Owls and Panthers have met only one other time, a 55-52 Rice victory on Nov. 28, 2010.
Last Time Out
The Owls gave the crowd plenty to cheer about in Tuesday's home opener against Texas Southern, using a 27-8 run over the game's final eight minutes to erase a 14-point fourth quarter deficit and defeat the Lady Tigers 76-71 in front of a raucous Tudor Fieldhouse. Rice knocked down a season-high 11 three-pointers in the victory and three players scored in double-figures. The Owls received big contributions from their bench, outscoring the Lady Tigers 35-18, and posted a 24-14 advantage in points off turnovers. Junior Erica Ogwumike led the Owls with 20 points (11-of-12 at the free throw line) and snagged a game-high 11 rebounds for her second straight double-double.
GSU Scouting Report
Georgia State is one of only two undefeated teams remaining in the Sun Belt Conference. Head coach Gene Hill's first season at GSU is off to a good start. Hill's Panthers are 3-0 after wins over UNCG, FAU, and FIU. Jada Lewis recorded back-to-back 20-point games in the Panthers' wins at FAU and FIU and is averaging a team-best 18 points per game.
Next Up
Rice continues their four-game homestand with a 2 p.m. Sunday contest against McNeese St. (0-5) at Tudor Fieldhouse.
