Parties in Philadelphia and Eugene Monday night during the women's NCAA Tournament selection show celebrated the end of postseason droughts for both Temple and Oregon.
With NCAA Tournament experience missing on both sides, the teams will fight to advance to the round of 32 on Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Temple has not been to the NCAA Tournament since 2011, but the Owls earned a No. 7 seed this season with a 24-7 regular season and a second-place finish in the American Athletic Conference, behind only No. 1 Connecticut.
Meanwhile, the Ducks' dance drought was even longer.
