The men's basketball NCAA Tournament is once again coming to the Wachovia Center. The NCAA announced on Monday that games will be played at the arena on March 22 and 24 in 2013.
Temple will serve as the host school.
"This awarding of the NCAA Tournament games at the Wachovia Center for 2013 is a true testament to the great college basketball fans we have here in the Greater Philadelphia Region who support the area's college basketball programs," said Comcast-Spectacor president Peter Luukko. "It's also a special honor for us that the Wachovia Center has quickly become an important venue for the NCAA to showcase men's basketball right here in Philadelphia."
To celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2013, the NCAA selected the sites where classic games were played. Philadelphia has hosted more NCAA Tournament games than any other city and hosted arguably the greatest game when Duke beat Kentucky in the 1992 East Regional Final on Christian Laettner's memorable buzzer beater.
The Wachovia Center has been the site of the 2009 NCAA men's first and second rounds, as well as the 2006 NCAA men's first and second Rounds. The arena also hosted the 2001 NCAA men's East regionals, and the 2000 NCAA Women's Final Four.
