HOUSTON (AP) - Michael Harris scored 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds as hot-shooting Rice beat short-handed Fresno State 92-71 Saturday night.

The Bulldogs shot just 38 percent from the field, led by Jonathan Woods' 15 points. Damon Jackson added 14 and Travis DeManby had 10.
Rice got 16 points from Omar-Seli Mance, who went 4-of-7 on 3-pointers. Brock Gillespie added 13 points. He went 3-of-4 on 3-pointers.
The Owls were 20-of-21 from the free throw line.
