Good morning, Roadrunners Fam. The UTSA WBB team is back in the Convo tonight, where they'll meet Rice at 6:30 p.m. in a Salute to Armed Forces contest. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+.

The Roadrunners (12-2, 3-0 The American) took down Tulsa, 60-53, last time out, collecting their 12th win of the season, and a 12-2 record reflects the program's best-ever through 14 games. UTSA is also 3-0 in league action for the first time since the 2009-10 squad accomplished the feat in the Southland.
