Match Info

Rice pulled off a 66-64 upset victory over Wichita State on the road in a National Collegiate Athletic Association American Athletic Conference game on January 8, 2026. The Owls weathered a late rally from the Shockers and hit clutch free throws in the final seconds to secure a significant conference road win. Rice played with confidence from the start, building a ten-point halftime lead with sharp ball movement and effective three-point shooting. Wichita State, known for their defensive tenacity, turned up the pressure in the second half, forcing Rice into a scoring drought and eventually tying the game with four minutes left. The teams traded leads down the stretch, with Rice's point guard drawing a foul on a drive and sinking both free throws with 3.2 seconds left.
