About Rice Owls Basketball

Rice Owls competes in D1 men's basketball as a member of the American Conference. The program is currently led by head coach Rob Lanier. Like all D1 programs, Rice Owls recruits players who demonstrate high-level film, strong academics, and proven exposure at competitive events.

Getting recruited at this level requires more than raw talent — coaches need to see your film at the right moment, your eligibility paperwork must be in order, and your tournament exposure has to match the standard the program is recruiting to.
