President Biden could relate to many Americans on Thursday night after seeing his NCAA men’s basketball cadre ruined when Princeton stunned Arizona in the first round, 59-55.
Princeton, the No. 15 seed in the South regional, used a late rally to pass No. 2 Arizona.
It marks the first time the Tigers have had a win in the men’s tournament since entering as the No. 5 seed against UNLV in 1998. Before that, they pulled off a groundbreaking win over UCLA in 1996.

Marquette, Texas and Kansas are the other three teams in their Final Four.
