NEW YORK, NY — After a season of buildup between the two Ivy League superpowers, the final battle arrived.
NEW YORK, NY — One year ago today, under the bright lights of the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Calif., the Princeton Tigers had achieved the impossible by taking down Arizona in a massive upset that began their Cinderella run to the Sweet 16. The Princeton community — and the country — took notice. Princeton basketball became a national name.
It’s not called Ivy Madness for nothing.
Coming off back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tournament, this year’s Tigers’ women’s basketball squad will hope to make their postseason success a trilogy with this weekend’s Ivy Madness conference tournament. On Friday, March 15, Princeton women’s basketball (23–4 overall, 13–1 Ivy League) will head to Levien Gymnasium at Columbia University to take on Penn (15–12, 7–7) in the semifinal round of the tournament and, if they win, face the winner between Columbia (22–5, 13–1) and Harvard (16–11, 9–5) the next day. Despite having the same conference record as Columbia, the Tigers have the top seed because they outrank Columbia in the NET ranking.
Inside and outside of the Orange Bubble, all eyes are on this year’s edition of the Princeton Tigers. Fresh off a Cinderella run to the Sweet 16 fueled by wins over powerhouses Arizona and Missouri, the men’s basketball team (24–3 overall, 12–2 Ivy League) hopes to secure back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances for the first time since 1998. With only three losses, a neutral site win against Rutgers, and a NET ranking of 48, Princeton has built an impressive resume — and the Ivy League has taken notice.
