Rice, a 6-foot-3 point guard, joined the Hoosiers prior to the 2024-25 season as a transfer from Washington State, where he was named first-team All-Pac-12 as a freshman. Rice entered Saturday's game averaging 8.0 points and 4.5 assists per game through the Hoosiers' first two contests.

Indiana looks to improve to 3-0 on the season, following wins over SIUE and Eastern Illinois.
