No. 15 Princeton Tigers upset No. 2 Arizona Wildcats 59-55
Princeton scratched, clawed and withstood several Arizona runs to overtake the Wildcats in the final minutes of regulation and pull off a stunning first round upset, 59–55.
The Tigers were led by 15 points from senior forward Tosan Evbuomwan, and held Arizona to just 42% shooting from the floor and 18.8% shooting from three.
Arizona was paced offensively by forward Ąžuolas Tubelis, who scored a game-high 22 points in the loss. The Wildcats, who captured the Pac-12 championship last weekend, now exit in the Round of 64 after many expected a deep tournament run.
