And Princeton wins.

59-55. Ariz played like they knew they would win, hoisting up crummy shots, turning it over, etc.

30 years after #15 seed Santa Clara beats #2 seed Arizona, another #15 seed, Princeton beat Arizona.

That day, Mrs. Mick and Toddler Mick went shopping, while I stayed to watch Arizona and their NBA-bound starters (Chris Mills, Khalid Reeves, Damon Stoudamire, Ed Stokes, Ray Owes) in what I thought would be a beat down. Instead, SCU went out to a 12 point lead in the first half. Arizona then went on a 24-0 run bisecting the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half...but SCU, led by frosh PG Steve Nash, who didn't start but played 30 minutes, cut the deficit and tied the game with just a few minutes left in the game.

Right at that moment, Mrs. Mick and ToddlerMick returned, and daddy was going just a wee bit crazy at the potential upset, and Toddler Mick started to cry and Mrs. Mick gave me that how-old-are-you-anyway look.  And SCU beat Arizona 64-61.

And 30 years later, Toddler Mick's #15 seed alma mater Princeton beat #2 seed Arizona, 59-55. 

Not good for the Pac 12, and Princeton is unlikely to advance against Missouri, which beat Utah State handily. Still...much fun.

Good story, Mick!
