While Rice baseball has been around since the school was founded, the success didn’t come around until the 1990s. Head coach Wayne Graham helped create a baseball powerhouse in Houston when he took over in 1992. Throughout his entire coaching career at Rice, the Owls reached the NCAA Tournament nearly every year. They fell short in only his first three seasons as coach. Twelve consecutive conference regular-season titles were claimed by the Owls from 1997 to 2008. This streak was spread across the Western Athletic Conference and Conference USA. Rice baseball took home the school’s first national championship in any sport when they won the College World Series in 2003.
Purchase Rice tickets for football games at Rice Stadium. The iconic stadium is the site of John F. Kennedy’s famous challenge to put a man on the moon. In the early years of the Rice football program, they enjoyed considerable success, both against regional teams and at the national level. One of the most famous plays in Rice football history occurred during the 1954 Cotton Bowl. As Rice’s Dickey Moegle raced down the sideline for a touchdown, Alabama’s Tommy Lewis came off the bench and tackled Moegle. The Owls would go on to win the Cotton Bowl, which was their last bowl win until their 2008 Texas Bowl win.
Rice basketball can be enjoyed throughout the winter season. The men’s and women’s teams regularly vie for the Conference USA championship to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The women’s team claimed the regular and postseason CUSA titles in 2019. They were the 12-seed in the Chicago Regional and lost to Marquette in the First Round of the Women’s NCAA Tournament. Rice now competes in the American Athletic Conference.
