Rice has added a game with Texas Southern on Sept. 25, 2021, the Owls announced Tuesday.
It will be the first meeting between the two Houston-based schools. Rice has faced one SWAC school previously, a 65-44 win over Prairie View A&M in 2016, and will open this season against Prairie View as well.
The Texas Southern game completes Rice’s 2021 non-conference schedule. The Owls will open 2021 at Oklahoma State, host Houston on Sept. 11 and then visit Texas on Sept. 18.
