While watching the end of Belmont's near-upset of Duke Thursday night did you catch the young man in the blue shirt and slacks near the end of the Bruins' bench? Former Waubonsie Valley standout and Beacon News All-Area selection, Jon Rice, had a great seat.

A 6-foot freshman guard, Rice is being redshirted this season.

Rice and Belmont could very well be back in the Big Dance again next year. They lose only one senior off their 14-man roster: 6-2 guard and leading scorer (14.9 average), Justin Hare.
