Massey's buzzer-beater lifts FAU past Rice 63-62

Ronald Delph led Florida Atlantic with 20 points. Delph's jumper with 63 seconds to go knotted the game at 60 following a Cashaw jumper nine seconds prior.

Tim Harrison's jumper with 6:45 left gave Rice (5-17, 2-7) a 52-47 lead as Rice outscored FAU 30-17 in the second half up to that point. Delph made back-to-back jumpers and Gerdarius Troutman's 3 with 4:12 left tied at 54. Troutman scored 10 points and William Pfister grabbed 11 rebounds.
