Rice finished 11th (of 13) in the American Athletic Conference last season and were picked to finish 12th this season - way behind Wichita State & Memphis, ahead of only UT San Antonio. Their head coach is Rob Lanier - in his 3rd season at Rice, following stints at Siena, Georgia State, & SMU.

The Owls opened up the season with 2 home games - a 100-55 win over Dallas Christian, followed up by a 72-71 loss to East Texas A&M. In the loss, they were outrebounded 54-41, giving up 25 offensive rebounds. This is something Stanford should be able to take advantage of tonight.

Starters for Rice in both games were:
#5 Jacob Dar (6'7/190 Gr G/F) a Seton Hall transfer, leads the team in scoring (16.5ppg) & rebounds (7.5rpg);
#2 Jaxson Thompson (6'2/185 Fr G) a McDonalds All-American nominee, scoring 12.5ppg;
#24 Jimmy Oladokun Jr. (6'9/230 Sr F) a Sierra Canyon HS grad, returning starter, 11.0ppg on .714 shooting, leads team with 5 blocks;
#14 Carmelo Adkins (6'4/200 Jr G) a USC Upstate transfer, 10.0ppg (6-12 on 3s);
#8 Eternity Eguagie (6'7/210 Jr F) 7.0rpg;

Dallas Hobbs (#0 6'0/170 Sr G) comes off the bench and leads the Owls with 13 assists & 5 steals.

Hopefully Donavin Young will be back in action - and hopefully Stanford will get control early enough in this game to give him along with Maurer, Batson, Stinson & others some significant playing time. They're going to need some depth beyond what has been, through 2 games, the core 6 of Price, Bliss, Olajuwon, Townsend, Cammann, & Rogers.]]>

Stanford's five losses were to teams in the top right quadrant (above average offense and defense), except for Miami, which has an opponent adjusted defense that is just below the average line. I read an analytics article that Miami hadn't had to really defend in the four games leading up to Notre Dame, but their offense is basically second in the country to Boise State in EPA.

Of note, Virginia Tech is in the above average offense, below average defense category. Stanford's conference wins are now in the below average/ below average quadrant. Cal has an abysmal offense, but their defense is much better than Stanford's defense.]]> https://x.com/JBudDavis/status/211979472...H6PpE&s=09

Miami WR Cooper Barkate, a Harvard and Duke transfer (played with current Miami QB Mensah at Duke), is stepping up with 9 rec for 118 yds and 2 TDs. That guy should have been on our transfer list, though I'm not sure if we could have matched what Miami was willing to pay for him.

#9 BYU lost to #3 Utah, ending former Stanford commit Bear Bachmeier's hot streak with the Cougars.

#23 Oregon wrecked #12 Ohio State 41-23, which continues tOSU's slow motion fall from grace after losing their starting QB a couple weeks ago for the season.

Future opponents SMU and Virginia Tech played a Friday night game, where the Ponies dominated the Hokies 51-28. Former opponents Duke and NC State played, where the Blue Devils also dominated the Wolfpack, 41-3. Nothing like injuries and the loss of a head coach and defensive coordinator to energize a team!]]>

The Oakland Golden Grizzlies (not to be confused with the Golden Bears), from Oakland County, Michigan finished fourth in the Horizon League last season and are predicted to repeat that finish according to the preseason coaches & media poll (behind Wright State, Robert Morris & Green Bay). Their national rankings per KenPom, Torvick, BPI, & Massey are 176/217/179/164. Stanford slipped to 77/88/80/72 following the Eastern Washington win.

Oakland lost at #16 Michigan 82-64 on Monday. They led the Wolverines early 18-13. With 8+ minutes left, they trailed by only 62-55. The Grizzlies outrebounded UM 44-42 and converted O-boards into 17 2nd chance points. But they were outscored 48-24 in the paint and 19-0 on fast breaks. They hoisted up 34 3-pt attempts, but hit only 7. They had only 5 assists and 15 TOs. They have a quick turn-around after tonight's game, playing at UCSB tomorrow at 1:00 pm.

Starters at Michigan were:
#0 Nassim Mashhour (6'6/200 Jr G) a starter last season until an injury ended his season; 16 pts vs. Mich, but 4 TOs & 4 fouls;
#13 Warren Marshall IV (6'6/190 Jr G) the only other returner to play significant minutes last season;
#24 Belal El Shakery (6'8/240 Sr F) U of New Hampshire transfer, America East All-Conf 3rd team, led the AEC with 8.2 rebounds/game;
#10 RJ Taylor (6'0/170 Sr G) Northern Iowa transfer;
#2 Chris Fields Jr. (6'8/240 Sr F) Campbell transfer; led the Grizzlies with 18 pts & 10 rebounds vs. UM;

Rounding out the rotation were:
#3 Ryder Bradley (6'3 185 So G) St Edwards transfer, Lone Star Conf Freshman of the Year & 2nd team All-LSC, scored 12 vs UM before fouling out;
#4 William Kassi (6'10/205 Jr G/F) Indian Hills CC transfer, NJCAA All-American;
#1 Hamoudy Mashhour (6'4/200 So G)

Oakland's coach is Greg Kampe who is in his 43rd(!!!) year on the job with the Grizzlies - the longest tenured coach in the nation.

I'm looking for Stanford to have a big edge on points in the paint and fast break points as they did vs E. Wash. (and as UM did vs Oakland). I'm hoping they can be a bit more successful on the boards and limit Oakland's 2nd chance points. I loved the balanced scoring in the first game - Price, Olajuwon, Townsend Cammann, & Rogers all had 10-17 points. Hopefully the freshmen will improve on their 3-pt % as they settle in. And it would be nice to see more contributions from Young, Batson, Bliss & Maurer.

Monday was a nice start. Hopefully tonight will be another building block - with a little less drama at the end.]]>
