Tiger kings: Princeton topple Arizona in historic NCAA tournament shocker
Ryan Langborg lifted Princeton to their first lead with 2:03 to play and the Tigers used a late-game run to earn their first NCAA tournament win in 25 years, topping No 2 seed Arizona 59-55 and leaving Joe Biden’s bracket in tatters.
The 15th-seeded Tigers (22-9) scored the final nine points, holding the Pac-12 tournament champion scoreless over the final 4:43.
Tosan Evbuomwan scored 15 points in Princeton’s first tournament victory since beating UNLV in 1998 when current coach Mitch Henderson was a player for the Tigers.
Princeton advanced to play seventh-seeded Missouri in the second round of the South Region. The Tigers beat Utah State 76-65.
The shocking result left punters’ brackets nationwide in shambles, none more noteworthy than Biden, who picked Arizona to win the tournament.
