Scores 22 during win Rice logged 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Boise State's 59-52 win Tuesday at the Air Force.

Impact Most of Boise State's starting lineup underwent problems Tuesday. Marcus Shaver and Naje Smith suffered injuries. Across his 35 minutes, Tyson Degenhart failed to attempt more than five field goals. Chibuzo Agbo inefficiently logged a six-point tally. But though those members had problems, Rice did not and helped the team win nonetheless. He averaged 16.5 points across its last four games played during January.

Makes six three-pointers Rice logged 29 points (10-14 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Boise State's 77-62 win Tuesday versus Nevada.

Impact Rice averaged 3.6 three-pointers made across Boise State's first five games this year. That rate indicates he is a valued scorer already. But when including two-pointers and free throws, Rice averaged 18.3 points across the five games. He was Boise State's best scorer during that five-matchup span.

Scores 15 points Saturday Rice (leg) recorded 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and an assist across 38 minutes in Saturday's win over Washington State.

Impact Rice was questionable in recent days, but the fact that he was deemed as probable to feature hours before tip-off cleared all the doubts regarding his availability. He's scored at least 15 points in his first two contests of the season.

Likely to play Saturday Rice (leg) is expected to play Saturday against Washington State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Rice put up a career-high 21 points during Boise State's loss to South Dakota State on Wednesday, though he came down with an apparent leg injury on his final field-goal attempt of the game. Nevertheless, the 6-foot-5 senior seems to be healthy enough to suit up at the earliest possible opportunity this Saturday. Across 31 games last year, Rice averaged 4.0 points and converted 31 percent of his 4.1 field-goal attempts while playing 21.7 minutes per contest. So long as he remains healthy, expect him to continue starting alongside point guard Marcus Shaver.

Washington State visits Boise State after Rice's 21-point outing

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Excellent across 36 minutes Rice logged 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five steals and one rebound across 36 minutes during the Broncos' 68-66 loss Wednesday versus South Dakota State.

Impact Rice's latest log indicates an opportunity he has to maximize his senior-year output, as it appears he's earned a starting spot, and he went on to post a career-high scoring total with the opportunity. Unfortunately, Rice appears to have sustained an injury on his game-winning shot attempted that fell short, as he was on the ground in pain for a significant amount of time after the final buzzer (per B.J. Rains of BroncoNationNews.com). It's unclear if that may limit him in advance of Saturday's matchup against Washington State.

Pounds glass in win Rice totaled four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and nine rebounds across 24 minutes during Saturday's 53-52 victory over San Diego State.

Impact Rice, a 6'5 junior guard, secured a season-best nine rebounds in the win. Although he was quiet offensively, every stat counted in a highly contested battle. Rice averages 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game across 34 appearances.

Moves to reserve role Rice closed with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Saturday's 86-76 victory over UNLV.

Impact Rice had started six consecutive games for the Broncos, putting up 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds across 32.3 minutes. The boost in playing time was largely due to the fact Emmanuel Akot had been sidelined with a knee injury, but Akot returned Saturday and recorded his best game of the month. It appears Rice will be returning to a support role, provided Akot experiences no further setbacks.
