The Tigers defeated No. 2 seed Arizona to become the eleventh No. 15 seed to upset a No. 2 seed in the Tournament's history.[1] They then defeated No. 7 seed Missouri to become the fourth No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, making it three consecutive years a No. 15 seed has accomplished the feat.[2][3] Princeton's Cinderella run came to an end with a 75–86 loss to Creighton in the Sweet Sixteen, marking the Tigers' farthest advance in the NCAA Tournament since 1967.

Previous season edit

The Tigers finished the 2021–22 season 23–7, 12–2 in Ivy League play to finish as Ivy League regular season champions. They defeated Cornell in the semifinals of the Ivy League tournament[4] before losing to Yale in the championship game.[5] As a regular season champion who failed to win their conference tournament, the Tigers received an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament. There they lost to VCU in the first round.[6]
