Rice vs. East Carolina head-to-head record and preview
The Rice Owls hold the advantage in the all-time head-to-head series with East Carolina, leading 24-9 over the Pirates. The last time these two teams played each other was in 2016. The Owls had won two of three games in a non-conference series at Reckling Park.
The Owls are unlikely to qualify for the NCAA Tournament via their record in the regular season. Still, they can push for the postseason by winning the AAC Conference tournament. Rice is on a two-game win streak and will want to continue its good run heading into the final series against East Carolina.
Meanwhile, the Pirates have hit a blip just before the conference tournament. They have lost five games in a row, including a clean sweep loss against Tulane last week. Nonetheless, East Carolina is leading its conference and will want to close the regular season out with a win.
