One More on the Road
The Owls conclude their three-game road trip Wednesday night at Tulsa. Rice will return home for two games against Memphis and SMU starting Saturday.
Last Time Out
The Owls took an early lead and never looked back, defeating Tulane 61-44 last Saturday in New Orleans. Dominique Ennis led the Owls with 16 points while Destiny Jackson and Malia Fisher both added 14 points.
Rice vs. Tulsa
This is the 39th meeting in the series, with the Owls holding a 25-13 series lead. This is the first meeting since the 2013-14 season, with the Owls winning that matchup 75-59. Tulsa is Rice's sixth most common opponent.
Weekly Honors

DJ's World (We're Just Living in it)
After hitting the game-winning layup as time expired in Rice's 65-63 win at SMU, Destiny Jackson was named to the weekly AAC Honor Roll. Jackson finished the game with a season-high 17 points, a season-high seven assists, six rebounds, a block and a steal. She finished with 12 points, three rebounds and three assists in Rice's 76-64 win against Wichita State.
Dom-inant
Dominique Ennis earned the first AAC Honor for the Owls, being named to the AAC Honor Roll after dropping a career-high 25 points, with six three-pointers, while adding a career-high five assists, five rebounds and four steals in Rice's 74-44 win over Texas Southern. Ennis added another 14 points at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Maya Buckets
Bokunewicz drained seven threes in Rice's 73-62 win over Saint Mary's, tying the school record for threes in a game (fourth time, second for Maya). Bokunewicz joins Jenny Cafferty (Fresno State 1-27-00), Kara Liggett (San Jose State 2-17-00), Katelyn Crosthwait (UTSA 1-16-23) and herself (UAB 3-5-22) with seven in a game.
Historic Feats vs. HCU
Rice allowed only five points in the first half against HCU, marking the fewest points allowed in a half in program history. The Huskies' lone point in the first quarter also marked the fewest points scored against Rice in program history.
Fisher Tabbed for Preseason Honors, Owls Picked Third
Junior forward Malia Fisher was named to the 2023 Preseason All-AAC Second Team. Fisher, an All-C-USA Second Teamer last season, was second on the team with 11.8 points per game while leading the team with 6.3 rebounds per game.
