The Ivy League school, known for academics is rallying around their basketball team with hopes the Tigers can keep this dream alive.
Reporter Anthony Johnson spoke with Princeton student Mohamed Hamza about the team.
"They made all of athletics and all of the students on campus pretty happy and excited about being proud about being a Tiger in general, so it's pretty awesome. I hope they make it to the Elite Eight and onwards to the Final Four as well. I mean, one match at a time but they've proven that anything is possible and they play with courage. It's a pretty exciting time."
