Temple Owls

The Temple Owls play at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, bringing American Athletic Conference basketball to the heart of North Broad Street. Under Adam Fisher, the Owls aim to restore the program to the glory days of John Chaney's tenure. Temple's cherry and white colors and Big Five tradition create a passionate following. The program has reached 33 NCAA Tournaments and produced numerous NBA players. The Liacouras Center provides a modern venue in the nation's sixth-largest city.

Temple reached the Elite Eight five times under the legendary John Chaney, whose matchup zone defense became his trademark during a 24-year tenure. The Owls won the 1938 NIT when it was the sport's premier postseason tournament. Mark Macon, Eddie Jones, and Aaron McKie are among the program's NBA alumni. Temple was a founding member of the Big Five, the iconic Philadelphia basketball tradition. The Owls have made 33 NCAA Tournament appearances, making them one of the most consistent mid-major programs in history.
