Rice was recently named to the NABC All-District 4 Second Team placing him among 150 All-District selections who represent the finest players in the country. A 6-foot-1 combo guard, Rice leads the Colonials in scoring with 16.1 points per game and has converted the most three-pointers (57). He also is the Colonials' third-best free throw shooter at .722 (65-90).
Hollis is a two-time A-10 Rookie of the Week selection who averages 5.4 points and leads GW in three-point FG percentage at .488 (12-of-43).
