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.
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.

The win also put the Tigers back at the top of the Ivy League standings, with the postseason impending.

Coming off a tough 83–68 loss to the Cornell Big Red (15–3 overall, 4–0 Ivy League), the Princeton men’s basketball team (15–2, 3–1) currently sits in third place in the Ivy League standings.

Back on Dec. 3, a game-tying shot fell short at the buzzer against the Rhode Island Rams to hand Princeton a two-point loss and bounce them from the top 25 rankings.

On a daily basis, Princeton students face all sorts of stressors from academics to social life. But on a campus where, according to The Daily Princetonian’s Frosh Survey, 52.5 percent of the incoming Class of 2027 participated in a high school varsity sport, sports are a natural break for many students.
Coming off a hot stretch that included a blowout win against No. 20 Oklahoma and a near upset against No. 3 UCLA, No. 25 women’s basketball (5–2 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) returned home Wednesday to take on the Seton Hall Pirates (4–3 overall, 0–0 Big East).

After their Sweet Sixteen run last year, men’s basketball (3–0 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) picked up right where they left off with their third road win in a row over the Duquesne Dukes (3–1 overall, 0–0 Atlantic 10). Despite Duquesne being favored by 5.5 points heading into the matchup, Princeton picked up an early lead and rarely let go to maintain a perfect record early in the season.
It’s rare to see a player take the leap from a supporting role to leading scorer in any sport, but that’s exactly what Princeton men’s soccer forward Daniel Ittycheria has done in his sophomore season.

The pressure and aggressiveness from the Tigers prevented Columbia from getting comfortable or establishing a sense of rhythm, opening up chances that the Tigers would capitalize on again and again.
On another rainy New Jersey evening, men’s soccer (3–3–0 overall, 0–1–0 Ivy League) were able to rebound after a tough loss to Dartmouth with a comfortable win against the Monmouth Hawks (4–2–3, 1–0–2 Colonial).
