Rice To Face Tennessee In Historic GameOn Nov. 15, Rice opens a new era in women’s basketball, as the Owls face Tennessee in the Lady Vols’ first home game since 1973 with someone other than Pat Summit coaching the team. Holly Warlick, a long-time Summit assistant and player, takes over the helm for the Lady Vols. Summit, one of the legends of collegiate athletics, won six national titles before stepping down after 2011-12 due to her battle with dementia.

Playing Into MarchSince entering C-USA in 2005-06, Rice has the most postseason appearances of any C-USA school, having reached the postseason in four seasons (2006, 2006, 2011, 2012). Memphis, SMU, and Tu-lane have reached the postseason three times since 2005-06, and 11 of the 12 C-USA schools have reached the postseason at least once.

Griner Returns To HoustonBaylor senior Brittney Griner, a native of Houston, returns home on Nov. 27 with her Bear team-mates to take on the Owls at Tudor Fieldhouse. The Nimitz High School graduate was Player of the Year in 2011-12 and Preseason Player of the Year in 2012-13 by every major service. The Bears went 40-0 to win the NCAA Title in 2011-12, and have not lost a game since the 2011 Regional Final, where the Lady Bears fell to eventual National Champion Texas A&M. Griner has not played in Houston since her senior year of high school.

Goswitz’s HomecomingRice senior Jessica Goswitz plays in front of her friends and family on Nov. 15, as she returns to her hometown of Knoxville to play the Tennessee Lady Vols. A graduate of the Webb School, the Owls play a second contest in her home state, at Tennessee Tech on Nov. 17 before returning home.

Kuster On Track For 1,000Jessica Kuster can become the 18th Rice player to reach 1,000 points in a career with 30 more points. Only seven players have reached the 1,000 point plateau in their junior season. Morgan Mayse is the last Rice player to reach 1,000 points, accomplishing the feat in 2010-11.

Kuster Named Preseason Player of the YearRice junior Jessica Kuster was named C-USA Preseason Player of the Year, as voted upon by the league’s coaches. The selection is Kuster’s second straight appearance on the Preseason All-C-USA Team. Kuster is the first Rice player to be named C-USA Preseason Player of the Year since Lauren Neaves prior to the 2005-06 season. In the same poll, the Owls were picked to finish fourth in the league by a poll of the league’s coaches.

Last Time Vs. Prairie View A&M (Nov. 11, 2011) Prairie View, Texas - Prairie View A&M outscored Rice 11 to 5 to finish the game for a 61-58 vic-tory at the William Nicks Building on Nov. 11, 2011. Jessica Kuster had 22 points and 18 rebounds to lead the Owls (0-1). D’Frantz Smart had 11 points and 4 assists and freshman Christal Porter scored 9 points and pulled in 6 rebounds. Rice was only 18-31 (58 percent) at the free throw line and committed 25 turnovers on the evening.

C-USA Changing2012-13 marks the final year of the current alignment of C-USA, which has not changed since Rice entered the league for 2005-06. C-USA adds Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion, Charlotte, UTSA, FIU and North Texas for 2012-13. Louisiana Tech won the 1982 and 1988 NCAA Championships, and has ten Final Four appearances; Old Dominion won the 1985 NCAA Championship and has three Final Four appearances; Charlotte has made nine consecutive postseason appearances; UTSA has won five conference championships since 2000; FIU has made 12 postseason appearances; and North Texas engineered one of the nation’s best turnarounds in 2011-12. Houston, Memphis, SMU and UCF depart C-USA after this season to join the Big East.

Owls Face Three Teams In Preseason Top 20Rice has games scheduled against No. 20 Tennessee, No. 1 Baylor and No. 15 Texas A&M in the non-conference portion of its schedule. If the opponents hold their ranking, it will be the first time since 2004-05 that Rice has faced three or more Top 20 schools.

Tournament TestedRice plays seven teams from last season’s NCAA Tournament field a total of eight times, and has a total of 11 games against postseason participants from a year ago. Prairie View A&M, Tennessee, UALR, Baylor, McNeese St., Texas A&M, and UTEP reached the NCAA Tournament in 2011-12

Autry ArmyRice is 27-14 since 2009-10 at Tudor Fieldhouse. The Owls went 9-5 in their home building last season.

Mama TajRice welcomed WNBA standout Taj McWilliams-Franklin to the staff this summer, but she joined the Owls on November 5th, after finishing her season with the Minnesota Lynx, who advanced to the WNBA Finals for a second straight year. McWilliams-Franklin, nicknamed “Mama Taj,” aver-aged 8.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, in addition to starting 33 of 34 games for the Western Confer-ence Champions in 2012.

Moussa Represents EgyptReem Moussa represented Egypt in the FIBA Africa AfroBasket U18 tournament this summer. She averaged 6.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and had a field goal percentage of .407 for the Egyp-tians in six games, as they took Bronze, only losing two games in the tournament. She started three games in the tournament, and posted her tournament-high with 18 points against Tunsia.

Greg WilliamsRice Head Coach (Eighth Season at Rice; 20th Overall)Greg Williams, now in his eighth season at his alma mater, has led the Owls to two consecutive postseason appearances, as a Williams-coached team played in its fourth WNIT. A product of Rice’s Hanszen College, he has led Rice to two C-USA title games and four postseason appearances in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012.

The Owls advanced to the WBI in 2012, marking their second consecutive trip to the postseason. Rice posted a 16-16 record, and had Jessica Kuster named to the All-C-USA First Team for the second straight year.

In 2010-11 the Owls were led by all-star freshman Kuster, who became only the third-ever freshman to be named to the All-C-USA First Team. Kuster was also named the league’s Freshman of the Year.

With a young squad, the Owls suffered through a 7-23 season during 2009. Freshman guard D’Frantz Smart was named to C-USA All-Freshmen team as she led all freshmen in the league in scoring at 10.8 points per game. Smart was also tops in the league in steals with a 2.33 steals per game average and fifth in assists (3.96).

In 2008, the Owls tallied a 14-18 record last season after playing nine games without Valeriya Berezhynska, who was C-USA’s top scorer and rebounder in conference games. Berezhynska tallied the program’s first career triple-double during a nationally-televised contest at Tulane, was selected by the WNBA’s Detroit Shock in April of 2009 and is currently playing professionally.

Despite injuries to starters that limited Rice’s firepower on both ends of the court, Williams led his squad to an 18-14 record and a second place C-USA finish during his inaugural campaign in 2005-06. The Owls also earned a trip to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament Second Round.Rice followed up with 19-14 record and another WNIT appearance. The Owls were headlined by two-time All-Conference USA First-Team selection Lauren Neaves, who averaged a double-double in each of Williams’ first two seasons. Neaves has played professionally in France since leaving Rice.

As a player, Williams was a three-year letterman for the Owls under coach Don Knodel in 1967-69, earning all-Southwest Conference honors and the league’s Co-MVP in 1969. After receiving his Rice degree in physical education in 1970, he immediately joined the men’s staff under Knodel, helping the Owls to the 1970 SWC championship as a student coach.

After six seasons as an assistant coach and two years in private business, Williams rejoined Knodel as an assistant coach with the Houston Angels in the Women’s Professional Basketball League. In the league’s first year (1978-79), the Angels won the league title and Knodel was named Coach of the Year.

Williams got his first head coaching position in 1980 with the WBL’s Dallas Diamonds, earning

the league’s Coach of the Year honors in 1981 after leading the team to a runner-up finish. His Diamonds featured legendary Nancy Lieberman and outdrew the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks during the WBL Championship series.

After two years as a volunteer assistant at SMU, Williams returned to the professional ranks in 1984 as the coach of the new Dallas Diamonds in the Women’s American Basketball Association. In his only season with the Diamonds, he led the squad to the WABA title and won his second Coach of the Year award.

Williams moved back to Houston in 1985 and returned to the college game when he was named head coach at the University of Houston. Among his accomplishments at UH were a 66-60 upset of No. 3 Louisiana Tech in 1985-86 and a 22-7 mark during 1987-88 that secured the school’s first Top-20 ranking along with a NCAA Tournament appearance. Williams also took home 1987-88 SWC Coach of the Year honors.

Williams took the reins at Colorado State University in 1990, leading the Rams to their first NCAA Tournament in 1996 in addition to the school’s first Western Athletic Conference championship. He won another Coach of the Year honor that season, adding the WBCA Region Seven award. CSU finished No. 24 in the final USA Today Top 25 coaches’ poll in 1996 behind WAC Player of the Year Becky Hammon, who finished second in the WNBA MVP voting in 2007 with the San Antonio Silver Stars.

The Indiana native’s successes on the professional and college level made him a natural fit when the WNBA started play in 1997. First, he was an assistant with the Utah Starzz, then added director of scouting duties when he moved to the Detroit Shock in 1998. As a Shock assistant coach from 1998-2000, Williams helped lead the team to a 17-13 (.567) inaugural season record, which was the highest winning percentage by an expansion team in the history of the four major sports-(WNBA/NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) to go along with a 1999 WNBA playoff berth.

Two years later, Williams became the Shock’s head coach and director of player personnel. He was the first person to be a head coach in three different women’s professional leagues. Williams’ selections included Deanna “Tweety” Nolan and Swin Cash, who were key players as the Shock won the 2003 and 2006 WNBA championships. Nolan earned 2006 WNBA Finals MVP and was a 2007 WNBA All-Defensive Team selection, while Cash was a 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist in Athens.

Williams returned to the college ranks in 2003 as an assistant coach at the University of Dayton. He was an aide to head coach Jim Jabir as the Flyers had the fourth-best national increase in wins (nine) during 2004-05 before returning to Rice as the program’s fourth coach in May 2005.

Williams is married to Suzanne Mote of Union City, Ind.
