The Rice Owls (3-8, 2-5 C-USA) and Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (3-8, 2-5 C-USA) share nearly identical journeys through the 2021 season. But one team will gain an upper-edge in the standings Saturday afternoon to conclude the year 4-8.
After a one-year hiatus due to a COVID-19 cancelation, the C-USA West foes resume their series for the first time since 2019, when Louisiana Tech edged Rice in an overtime thriller in Houston. It’s the final collegiate game for seniors across both rosters, so the programs aim to end on a high note and send them out in a celebratory manner.
