Third-ranked Duke fell 78- 73 to Temple. The game marked the Owls' first win in 16 years against the Blue Devils in college basketball. Khalif Wyatt led the Owls (10-3) with 22 points and Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson added 17. The Owls took public transportation to the game, held at the Wells Fargo Center. Head Coach Fran Dunphy explained the subway ride this way: "Over the course of Temple's lifetime, people would ride the subway to school, go to class, get back on the subway, go to their part-time jobs in order to afford the education, and then go home. For us, it's kind of a tribute to all those Temple people that have done that for so many years. That's who we are, and we just wanted to let everybody know that we appreciate what Temple University is all about."
