Born in 1894 in Philadelphia, Temple Owls men's basketball is one of college hoops' true originals, building a legacy that includes the 1938 NIT title widely recognized as the sport's first national championship, two NCAA Final Fours in 1956 and 1958, and a haul of conference crowns. Hall of Famer John Chaney molded generations of tough, smart Owls, while all-time scorer Mark Macon lit up North Broad with big-time buckets.

Game nights at the Liacouras Center are electric. The Cherry Crusade student section packs the lower bowl, turning every stop and three into a roar, and annual Philadelphia Big 5 showdowns keep the city-series bragging rights burning. If you live for high-IQ defense, Philly grit, and a soundtrack of full-throated "T-U" chants, buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
