The Owls only won the game that Anderson was limited to seven points against Wichita State on Wednesday. The 6-3 senior will look for personal and team success to coalesce on Wednesday against UTSA.

Dug McDaniel scores 18 as Memphis downs Rice 76-70

Led by Dug McDaniel's 18 points, the Memphis Tigers defeated the Rice Owls 76-70

JANUARY 3 • Associated Press

Trae Broadnax - Scores 15 in loss Broadnax fouled out of Saturday's 76-70 loss to Memphis after recording 15 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-12 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact After being held to just eight points (his second single-digit scoring performance of the season) in the American Conference opener against Tulsa, Broadnax was back in double-digits in the team's third-straight loss. He fouled out for the fifth time this season. Rice will look to win its first conference game at Wichita State on Wednesday. Broadnax had four points, four rebounds and four assists in the loss to the Shockers last year.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Stephen Giwa - Logs nine boards, three blocks Giwa logged four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 25 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 76-70 loss to Memphis.

Impact Giwa got the starting nod for a second straight game with recent struggles from big man Jimmy Oladokun. Giwa delivered in the paint once again, logging his second-highest rebound total of the year and sending back three shots from the Tigers. The senior center has now logged eight blocks in his last two games, so it's likely he'll be stuck in the paint as the starter moving forward.

Dallas Hobbs - Returns to the court Hobbs (undisclosed) registered zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 97-48 loss to Tulsa.

Impact Hobbs had missed the previous seven games. In his first six games, the 6-1 junior scored in double digits twice and hit a 3-pointer in every game. Hobbs averaged 12.4 points with Mount St. Mary's last season, so he could be a quality bench scorer for the Owls going forward.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Patterson - Makes season debut Patterson (undisclosed) provided zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 97-48 loss to Tulsa.

Impact Patterson appeared in 10 games for the Owls last season and averaged 3.8 points and 4.3 rebounds. The 6-9 senior transferred from Villanova prior to the 2024-25. He played sparingly in three years with the Wildcats. At 6-9, he could work himself into the Owl rotation.

Nick Anderson - Scores team-high 17 Anderson closed with 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 97-48 loss to Tulsa.

Impact The 6-3 senior scored more than a third of his team's point in the blowout loss. He had been held to a combined seven points in the last two non-conference games for the Owls, but those were his first two single-digit scoring performances of the season. Anderson is averaging 13.9 points.
