KINGSTON, R.I. (AP) -- Ramone Moore scored 22 points and Aaron Brown had 15 points off the bench to help Temple cruise past Rhode Island in a 73-56 win on Saturday.

Khalif Wyatt added 16 points for the Owls (17-5, 6-2 Atlantic 10), who extended their longest winning streak this season to six games.

Temple never trailed in the contest, jumping out to a 27-11 lead in the first half after back-to-back layups by Anthony Lee. The Owls pushed their advantage to 19 points - their largest of the game - when Wyatt knocked down two free throws with 3:05 left to play.

Jonathan Holton scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the Rams (5-19, 2-7), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. Nikola Malesevic had 12 points and Billy Baron added 11.
