Both schools are working with Conference USA to reschedule the contest for later this season.

For the Owls, this will mark the third consecutive game affected by COVID-19 after cancellations for the Dec. 19 game against Texas A&M and then for the game originally scheduled for Wednesday against Texas College.

Rice last played a game on Dec. 16 against Sam Houston State, a game the Owls won 74-64.

So far this season, Rice has a record of 5-3.
