How to Watch South Florida at Rice: Stream Women’s College Basketball Live, TV Channel

South Florida is riding high heading into this matchup with Rice in women’s college basketball.

Conference play kicks off for both South Florida (7-6) and Rice (7-5) in the AAC. The Bulls really challenged themselves in non-conference play with five games against ranked opponents. After four losses the Bulls shocked ninth-ranked Duke (65-56) to win a second straight game heading into conference play. They look to build on that against the Owls in a bounce back season. Last year snapped a three season run for the Bulls finishing either first or second in conference play and earning their way into the NCAA Tournament. For the Owls, they finished just 9-9 in conference play, but shocked the AAC by winning the conference tournament to earn an NCAA Tournament berth for just the fourth time in program history.

In the Bulls win over the ninth-ranked Blue Devils they really turned up the heat on the defensive end. They jumped out to a 33-15 lead at the half holding the Blue Devils to just six first period points and nine in the second period.

Senior Sammie Puisis led the charge with 23 points on an efficient shooting night. She finished 6-9 from the field, 3-3 from three and 8-8 from the free-throw line to fuel the upset win. For the season Puisis is back to her 2022-2023 form averaging 14.5 points per game on a career-best 44.7% shooting from three.

The Owls have been led this season by junior Dominique Ennis with her 10.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. With senior Malia Fisher back in the lineup the Owls have the team’s leading scorer from last season to give the offense more balance.
