Old Dominion at Rice

It has been a tough go for the Rice basketball program with just a pair of winning seasons since 2006. Last year this team won 23 games, but has lost almost all the production for that squad. It should be noted that the previous time Rice was better than .500, they finished 5-23. Rice has failed to score 70 points in any game vs. an FBS opponent this season, and has shot less than 40% in 8 of their last 12. Old Dominion is on a roll, as the Monarchs have claimed victory in each of their last five games by an average scoring margin of 21.6 points per game vs. competition that would grade out better than what they will face tonight. Lay the points play on Old Dominion.
