Rice has a strong offense behind Conference-USA Freshman of the Year Marcus Evans (21.2 points per game), who is second in Conference USA in scoring and #18 in the nation. He leads the league in steals (2.1) and is ninth in minutes played (33.4). Rice also leads Conference USA in free throw percentage, connecting on 74.2%. The Owls run into a weak NC Charlotte team with a losing overall record. Charlotte is #11 in Conference USA in points allowed, eighth in free throws and #12 in field goal shooting defense surrendering 48% shooting, so back the live dog and play Rice on the moneyline.
