A 6-8 forward who is one of the top shooters in basketball, Rice left the Wolverines as the leading scorer in Big Ten history with 2,442 points. A member of the The Sporting News All-America Second Team as a senior, he powered Michigan to the NCAA Championship in 1989 with a string of performances that ranked among the best in NCAA Tournament history, averaging 30.7 points for the tournament and eclipsing Bill Bradley's record of 184 points in the process. Rice unleashed a 31-point, 11-rebound effort against Seton Hall in the NCAA Championship Game to earn Most Outstanding Player honors for the Final Four. He also captured the Jesse Owens Award as the Big Ten Athlete of the Year for 1989.
