Rice interviewed Texas assistant basketball coach Rodney Terry on Thursday for its vacant coaching position, according to an NCAA official.
Rice athletic director Chris Del Conte did not return calls from the Chronicle seeking comment.
Texas is in town to face Stanford in the South Regional of the NCAA Tournament.
Terry, who turned 40 on Thursday, joined the Texas staff on June 11, 2002, after spending the previous four seasons coaching under Jerry Wainwright at North Carolina-Wilmington. The Seahawks made three postseason appearances while Terry was on the staff.
Texas has appeared in the NCAA Tournament in each of the six seasons Terry has assisted Rick Barnes. This is the Longhorns' fourth Sweet 16 appearance since Terry, an Angleton native and St. Edward's graduate, joined the staff.
It was reported that Terry was a finalist for the Missouri State opening filled Wednesday by Purdue assistant Cuonzo Martin.
Rice fired Willis Wilson on March 14, two days after the Owls ended a 3-27 season with their 20th consecutive loss.
