Rice Owls Basketball Tickets

He is Rice's all-time leading scorer. He is Rice's all-time leading rebounder. Now, he Rice's most accomplished former player. And that's unfortunate for the Owls.
Goodbye, Michael Harris. Hello, uncertainty.
If Rice is going to earn its third consecutive trip to postseason play, it will have to do so without Harris, a 2,000-point, 1,000-rebound performer who has exhausted his eligibility. Also gone are fellow starters Jason McKriedi and Brock Gillespie. That alone is more than 44 points per game. So this is not the ideal way for Willis Wilson, now in his 14th year at the helm, to make the transition into Conference USA.
Regardless, he has no choice. Thus Wilson will be coaching six newcomers in a new league. They'll be joined by veterans Paulius Packevi-cius, Lorenzo Williams, Morris Almond, Patrick Britton, Jamaal Moore and J.R. Harrison.
Harrison, a 6'6" forward who averaged 9.4 points per game a year ago, may be die key. He's had a solid three-year career and has developed into an above-average defender. Still, his offensive productivity will have to reach an all-time high for the Owls to make another postseason appearance. The same goes for Williams, who started 15 games last season. In high school, the 6' 1" point guard averaged 21 points per game. Half of that — plus a repeat of the 4.3 assists he averaged as a sophomore — is the goal for which to shoot.
