The Cinderella run continues for Princeton University's men's basketball team. As DougWilliamsTV reports, students are pumped up for Friday night's big game.
Students were on spring break during Princeton's first round upset of Arizona, but they're back on campus tonight and pumped up for the big game.
The Tigers, a No. 15 seed, weren't supposed to go this far. They defeated the No. 2 seed Arizona in the first round, then beat No. 7 seed Missouri by 15 points in the second round. "Creighton's starting five has always been one of the more complete starting fives in college basketball," said CBS Sports College Basketball Insider Jon Rothstein.
"I also think that folks realize that this team belongs. You get some of these 'Holy cow, where did that come from?' There was a little of that when they beat Arizona, but they dropped the hammer on Missouri," said Gov. Murphy. Princeton is a 10-point underdog to Creighton. But remember, they were 16-point underdogs against Arizona.
