What to know

The Rice Owls will play at home against the Incarnate Word Cardinals at 12:15 p.m. ET Thursday. Both teams are looking to continue the momentum from previous wins.

The Owls didn’t have too much trouble with the Houston Bap. The Huskies were on the road on Saturday as they won 88-73.

Meanwhile, the Incarnate Word took a 72-62 win over the Grambling Tigers on Saturday.

Rice is the favorite in this matchup, with an expected win score of 16 points. Those lucky to them with odds on Saturday may want to stop betting this time around as the team has yet to string consecutive wins with the odds.

The win brought Rice to 6-4 and Incarnate Word to 2-8. A few defensive numbers to keep in mind before the game starts: Rice is 28th in college basketball in allowed points per game, with an average of 76.2. The Cardinals have experienced some struggles of their own as opponents average 50.50% off the floor, which is the 356th highest shot rate allowed in college basketball. Maybe one of these Achilles heels will get in the way of the losing team.
