Junior guard Mikey Thompson is 15-of-57 (26.3 percent) from the field in his last seven games, and sophomore forward Nick Duncan is 16-of-65 (24.6 percent) in his last seven. Duncan did hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with less than four minutes to play.
"The crazy thing is that James was 7-for-7 from 3, Nick's going to have one of those games and I think he'll have it soon," Rice said. "He's not making all of them, but he made a big one (Sunday). … I can see us being even better in a month. Mikey had one point, but he can go and get 20..."
...The 6-foot-9 sophomore has made 12 3-pointers in his last three games after making 10 all season before that. In Mountain West games, he's averaging 12.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. On the season, he's 42-of-57 on two-point shots (73.7 percent) and 22-of-45 on 3-pointers (48.9 percent).
