Rice, who will be 41 next season, said he would absolutely return.

"My wife is not ready for me to be at home every day right now," Rice said.

"We just started running different things," said Rice, who shot the ball three times in his last 15 minutes on the floor.

"I felt pretty good toward the end of the game," Rice said.

"My parents kept telling me to act like a man," said Rice.

Rice said he met with an adviser three times a week.

To no one in particular, Rice said; he is just trying to get the fans involved.

"We would love to sit down and talk with them," Rice said.

"We have a great opportunity to go out and beat these guys," Rice said.

"You always want to play a little better, and the film is not going to lie," Rice said.
