This year marked the first time that the Princeton men’s and women’s basketball teams reached the NCAA Tournament in the same season, and the Tigers provided fans with some memorable moments in their opening games — for the men, a near-upset against Kentucky, an eventual Final Four team; and for the women, a loss to a tenacious Georgetown squad.
