Today's Houston Chronicle had a big article about the Rice women's program. There was a big focus on Rice's narrow (57-56) win over the Techsters last year, the first time Rice has ever beaten Tech.
One of the players -- Center, Johnetta Hayes -- made a lot of quoted comments that just might provide a little incentive for the Techsters. Hayes said that "there's no team in the WAC capable of beating them or stopping them, that they only way they could lose is if they beat themselves."
I have to wonder if the interviews for the piece took place before Tech pasted Texas Tech. ( Which, BTW, got very good ink here in Houston.)
At any rate, some Techster fan close to the team needs to take this and give it to the Techsters for bulletin board board material for the WAC race, and especially the meetings with Rice.
