Sam Alajiki - Unexpected scratch Alajiki (undisclosed) did not take the court in Wednesday's 84-59 loss to Tulane. Impact While the offseason move from California to Rice did not result in a starting role for Alajiki, he has been the team's primary sixth man. He had appeared and logged double-digit minutes in all prior 13 games this season, so considered Rice had 12 different players take the court, Alajiki would have been part of the mix if healthy. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday against UTSA.
