Prolific again off the bench Rice had 23 points (8-14 FG, 7-10 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 81-61 win over Colgate.
Impact Rice returned to his role as the Longhorns' sixth man after starting each of the previous three contests in the Big 12 Tournament when Timmy Allen was sidelined. The 6-foot-4 reserve shooter still maintained his elite scoring pace, finishing as Texas' leading scorer in this first-round blowout during the NCAA Tournament. Rice has averaged 16.7 points while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from three-point land over the last 15 games. He's also averaged 27.3 minutes while starting just three of these 15 contests, and he should be considered the Longhorns' top scoring threat even when coming off the bench.

Coming off bench Thursday Rice is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's opening-round action against Colgate.
Impact Rice entered the starting lineup for the Longhorns' Big 12 tournament title run with Timmy Allen sidelined due to a leg injury. With Allen back in the fold, Rice will head back to his usual spot off the bench. The New Mexico State transfer has acclimated remarkably in his sixth-man role with the team, averaging 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 25.1 minutes per game.

Team-high 24 points Saturday Rice chipped in 24 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 85-83 OT victory over Oklahoma.
Impact Rice continued his prolific scoring off the bench, as he's now averaged 17.7 points while also scoring in double digits during all but one of his past seven outings. The 6-foot-4 transfer guard's performance Saturday also matched his season high for points set just seven days prior versus West Virginia. Rice's massively increased role over this span should make him one of the Longhorns' top-two scoring options alongside starting shooting guard Marcus Carr, the latter of whom has posted 15.9 points per game across the last seven contests.
