Princeton easily beat No. 7 Missouri 78-63 to advance to the Sweet 16 on Saturday. The Tigers from New Jersey led nearly the entire game and pulled away in the second half after Missouri tried to make it a contest.
The Ivy League champions were just 4-of-25 from the 3-point line in their upset win over No. 2 Arizona on Thursday. That performance was atypical of an NCAA tournament upset. Massive underdogs usually win because they shoot well from behind the arc.
