KISSIMMEE, Fla. (Interstat) — The Rhode Island Rams and Temple Owls, two teams riding the momentum of Tuesday victories, will face off in a men’s NCAA Division I basketball matchup on Wednesday at the ESPN Events Invitational.

Rhode Island (5-2) arrives after an 80-65 road win at Vermont. Myles Corey led the Rams with 22 points and six rebounds, while Tyler Cochran added 13 points and seven boards. The Rams have shown a potent offense, averaging 76.4 points per game, but are looking to build consistency after a 55-62 loss at Towson on Monday.

Temple (4-2) is coming off a tight 79-75 win at Princeton. Derrian Ford scored 21 points for the Owls in the victory, with Aiden Tobiason adding 16 points. The Owls’ season has been marked by a high-scoring 91-76 loss at UC San Diego just a day before their Princeton triumph, highlighting a need for defensive stability.

Wednesday’s neutral-site contest pits Rhode Island’s balanced scoring attack against a Temple team seeking a statement win in tournament play. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, as part of the early-season invitational.
