Boston College point guard Tyrese Rice will return for his senior season.
 
``I’m coming back,” Rice said. “I’ve never been a loser in my life and I felt like it wouldn’t have been right for me to leave after a 14-17 season. We’ve got a lot more to prove.”

Rice averaged 21 points and five assists per game and had one of the season’s most impressive individual performances when he scored 46 points in a loss to North Carolina.

He was second in the ACC in scoring behind National Player of the Year winner Tyler Hansbrough and fourth in the league in assists.

``I wasn’t satisfied with this year,” Rice added. “I felt good about the team last year, but I feel a lot better this year.”

VINEY LEAVING OREGON

Oregon freshman wing Drew Viney got his release on Thursday.

Viney didn’t play a ton this past season and only averaged 1.5 points and 1.2 rebounds.
