I am heading with a friend up to Huntsville tonight to watch Rice play Sam Houston State. I expect good seats are still available. I will also take the road to College Station next Tuesday to see Rice play Texas A & M.

This weekend Rice won two out of three, the last two, in New Orleans against Tulane. Tulane has a pretty good club.

I read on the Rice site that Rice's RPI is 42. That is probably too low to get an at large bid to postseason. It is borderline. Rice has to win the conference tournament to be sure of getting in. And it looks like we will be a second or third seed in someone elses regional.

Despite being second or third in conference they have the best RPI by far. So our RPI is not likely to get better because most of the tough non-conference games are over. The rest of the games will be against conference teams that are much weaker.
