Men’s Basketball Hosts Delaware State as Part of Doubleheader with Women’s Team
12.20.21 | Men's Basketball
PHILADELPHIA - After having its game against Drexel Saturday postponed, Temple concludes its homestand Wednesday with Delaware State. The game will be part of a doubleheader with the Temple women hosting Old Dominion at noon and the men's game tipping off 30-minutes after the conclusion of the opener (approx. 2:20 pm).
The Owls will be looking to snap a two-game skid after recently falling to UCF in their American Athletic Conference opener on Dec. 15. Delaware State is coming off an 86-53 loss to North Carolina Central in the HBCU Legacy Classic in Newark, N.J. The Hornets, who play at Wagner tonight (Dec. 20), were a late replacement for Hampton, accepting the invite the day before Saturday's contest.
