That's exactly what made it the choke of all chokes that ever choked a choke. They choked on the bus ride to the stadium, and then got boat raced by the 16 seed, haha.
Joyous tip of the hat to the Tigers. And the other seven teams should be pleased. They toughened Princeton up in crunch time for two months in a league where results go down to the final possession more than often than any of the other 33 leagues.
Previous comment spot-on. Arizona choked in crunch time.
Also, a reality check on the fantasies of an 8-team league (smallest in D-1) getting an at-large invite to the dance.
Just be happy realizing we will have a very tough and tested Champion every year at the Dance. And be thrilled when any team (including the ladies) periodically can achieve Sweet 16 status.
