Temple rides NYC subway to NCAA tournament game (Photos)

The Temple basketball team made its way to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn the same way many fans did: on the subway.

How cool is this?

The Temple basketball team is no stranger to public transportation. Before its upset over Duke in 2012, head coach Fran Dunphy and his squad rode the Broad Street Line from Temple’s campus in the heart of North Philadelphia to the Wells Fargo Center in South Philly.

They did the same thing before upsetting Kansas in 2014.

This time around, the Owls, a No. 10 seed in the South Region, take on No. 7 seed Iowa in an opening round matchup. There’s no word on what mode of transportation the Hawkeyes used to make it to the arena.
