PHILADELPHIA - Temple men's basketball will play for the first time ever at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs when the Owls (10-7, 1-3) travel to UConn (6-9 ,1-3) for a 9 p.m. game on Wednesday, Jan. 11 (CBSSN / 1210 AM WPHT). The all-time series is tied 7-7, but every modern era road game Temple has played against the Huskies was in Hartford.
Gampel, UConn's main campus arena, was built in 1990, long after the first seven games of the series between the Huskies and the Owls. Temple was 2-5 against UConn from 1951 to 1965, and did not face the Huskies again until the teams became American Athletic Conference opponents in 2014.
