New opponent in Empire Classic Martin and the Sun Devils will now take on Rhode Island on Nov. 25 in the Empire Classic. Impact Martin and co. were originally scheduled to open up the tournament against Baylor, but the Bears ultimately withdrew due to COVID-19-related reasons. The Sun Devils still made the trip to Connecticut despite not knowing their opponent, but they'll ultimately end up facing Rhode Island before a matchup with either Villanova or Boston College the next day. Rhode Island was originally scheduled for the Mohegan Sun Bubbleville tournament, but the Rams also lost their opponent (Stephen F. Austin) and were in need of a new adversary.
