PHILADELPHIA - Temple University head men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy and his Temple Owls will travel to the Wachovia Center for their game against the #7/9 Duke Blue Devils via public transportation. The Owls will leave the Liacouras Center at 4:45 p.m. to take Septa's Broad Street Line south from the Cecil B. Moore stop to the Pattison Avenue stop. The team will then walk, as their fans will later that night, to the Wachovia Center.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for our team to travel as Philadelphians do on a daily basis to and from work," said Dunphy.

When they take the floor (7:00 p.m./ESPN/1210 AM WPHT), the Owls (6-6) will be looking to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Blue Devils (11-1) and post their first win over a Top 10 non-conference foe since defeating #10 Indiana, 71-64, on December 28, 2002.
