As if enduring the worst season in Rice history wasn't bad enough, the Owls' flight to Memphis for the Conference USA tournament was cancelled because of bad weather and the team was forced to fly to Little Rock, Ark., and take a bus to Memphis.

"This is a fitting end considering the way things have gone for us this season," Rice coach Willis Wilson told the Houston Chronicle while laughing—possibly to keep from crying. "I've never seen anything to rival this. Never."

Unfortunately for Wilson, things got worse. With a 59-50 loss to Southern Miss in the opening round of the C-USA tournament on March 12, the Owls closed out their season with a 20-game losing streak, a 3-27 record overall and an 0-16 conference record.]]> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:34:04 PDT urn:newsml:sports.yahoo,sportsxchange:20080101:ncaab,article,teamreports-2008-ncaab-rae:1 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:34:04 PDT
