The UTEP women finish its regular season with a two-game road trip that starts Thursday night at Rice.
The 6 p.m. Mountain time tip at Autrey Court will be streamed on ESPN+ and carried on the UTEP Miners app.
This is a rematch of Rice's 72-69 victory last month at the Don Haskins Center.
Who is Rice?
A three-time defending Conference USA champion, the Owls have gone through a rebuilding season under first-year coach Lindsay Edmonds and have come through it better than expected.
Rice started C-USA play 0-5, but after winning four of its last five is up to 6-9 in the C-USA West and 11-12 overall.
