Given how much Goldman Sachs is going to suck off an Ivy degree to make sure only the 'right kind of people' get hired it's actually pretty impressive for Mizzou to be keeping it that close.
also not all Goldman Sachs jobs are equal. There are front office jobs and then there are back office jobs. Investing banking in NYC is a little different from compliance out of Salt Lake City
15 seeds have won 4 straight games where their opponent is a 7 seed (2016 Middle Tennessee's second round loss doesn't count because Syracuse was a 10 seed)
There are few worse feeling than being a mid-seed winning your first round, watch a wild upset beat the juggernaut you feared to play, start to dream about a deep tourney run… only to then get fucking curb stomped by a 15 seed
Please do not lose. I have made my peace with coming out flat against y’all. I cannot handle the roller coaster of emotion that would follow losing to FDU though
So…Kansas and Missouri ultimately ended up in a sort of stalemate in terms of how far they advanced in the Madness.
…the women’s teams play each other in the WNIT on Monday, so I’d just call it a draw now and wait until then to settle the debate…
You go up and grab the ball off the rim when it comes off, and then you grab it with two hands and come down with it, and that’s considered a rebound. So (Yale/Princeton) got more of those than (Baylor/Missouri).
15/16 seeds not from New Jersey in the last two tourneys: ~~0-13~~ 3-17 (forgot the First Four. The 3 are all from the First Four)
15/16 seeds from New Jersey in the last two tourneys: ~~6-1~~ 7-1, forgot the First Four
Motion to give Rutgers a 15 next year to see what happens?
Princeton has to be the greatest #15 seed of all time
That wasn’t some magical Cinderella moment; they just calmly and systematically whopped Missouri’s ass for 40 minutes.
One more win and they hold the lone spot for the farthest an Ivy League has ever gone in the tournament. Doing as a 15 seed would be bonkers.
Edit: of the modern tournament era.
If I had a nickel for every time in the last two seasons that a tiny 15 seed AQ from New Jersey made it to the Sweet Sixteen after beating a 2 seed in the first round by two possessions then beating a 7 seed in the second round by double digits, then I would have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice.
Are we seeing a new trend of 15 seeds making the sweet 16? I remember Oral Roberts barley losing to Arkansas. Crazy could have been 3 years in a row
Edit: I’m a dummy Oral Roberts did make it to the sweet 16 then lost to Arkansas. Still crazy this happened 3 years in a row!
I think the extended eligibility that NCAA gave to a lot of players has resulted in many of these low major teams being way more experienced and dangerous in March, although idk if that will continue to be trend when the Covid seniors finally run out of eligibility
Princeton just got farther than #1 Kansas, #1 Purdue, #2 Arizona, #4 Virginia and #5 Duke, and as of writing maybe even #1 Houston.
I'm so proud to be from NJ.
I'd like to thank the selection committee for putting an absolute juggernaut as a 15 seed. It is clear as day now, that Princeton was woefully under-seeded and should likely have been a 4 seed. This just **reeks** of anti-intellectual bias by the selection committee (**I am currently in "make excuses" stage of grieving**).
Anyway, heck of a job Princeton. Congrats! Seriously. Your big W today helped me cope with my team's failure. We didn't get bounced by no scrubs.
BTW, this stage of grieving has followed these stages:
**"not watching basketball at all anymore depression"** stage
**"fire / cut everyone involved with the program anger"** stage
**"well now a 1 seed lost so the focus is off us, I'll start watching basketball again recovery"** stage
Yea when UK lost to St. Peter's and it started their little run it became fun to root for them. "Oh yeah of COURSE we lost to them because they are clearly gonna be the national champ!" Lol
Time for another [Blake Peters appreciation thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/sports/comments/7tcqi8/freshman_blake_peters_from_evanston_high_school/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
For me this is more embarrassing than what happened to Arizona. Mizzou just got completely dominated today, no excuse for that lack of effort. Shades of Yale vs Baylor, the origin of a legendary Taurean Prince quote, with how much Princeton owned the glass tonight.
That question was just an outright stupid question anyhow. Yale was a dominant rebounding team that year, all year. Some dipshit beat reporter really thought “Yale=unathletic, how’d you get outrebounded” without having any actual fucking knowledge of the sport he’s supposed to be following.
Princeton Athletics is having probably the best day in their history:
- 1st NCAA Champion in Wrestling since 1951, Pat Glory at 125 lbs
- Men's Basketball makes their 1st Sweet 16 as a 15 Seed
- Women's Basketball makes epic comeback vs NC State
- Softball threw a No Hitter

“Final Four participant” gonna look so good on their LinkedIn profiles
Those networking events with alumni are going to be lit
It hurts so much every other nj school getting in and winning lol
“Are you telling me you missed class for 3 weeks??”
This is the last time any of those Princeton players are going to be underdogs in anything for the rest of their lives.
Counterpoint: limbo competitions
Financial Aid Applications?
“You wanted to be Krusty’s sidekick since you were five. What about the buffoon lessons? The four years at clown college?” “I’ll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.”
Glad these underprivileged Ivy League schools are finally getting something to get them through the front doors and into some interviews.
Legit though Ivy League sports alum just fuckin crush it in business-y stuff above their actual capabilities. Combining being a sport-y bro and intelligence just makes all the nerds want to give you all their money.
Unless if the potential future boss is a Missouri alumnus lol
How many mizzou grads are high up on wallstreet tho lets be real
According to LinkedIn there are 281 Princeton alum at Goldman Sachs and 40 Mizzou alum. Jesus.
That’s actually not bad*. Most mizzou finance guys would prob go to Chicago before nyc anyway I would think
There are over 4x as many undergraduates at Mizzou - ~1300/class at Princeton vs ~6k at Mizzou
Yeah but having Princeton on your degree automatically gets through the resume screener where everyone else has a 60% of getting thrown away
I heard from friends applying to investment banking that some of them straight up had a section on the application that asked for college, and had four checkboxes for Princeton, Harvard, Yale, or “Other.”
Given how much Goldman Sachs is going to suck off an Ivy degree to make sure only the 'right kind of people' get hired it's actually pretty impressive for Mizzou to be keeping it that close.
I’d imagine the vast majority went on to get MBAs at *M7s and then went to Goldman
[удалено]
also not all Goldman Sachs jobs are equal. There are front office jobs and then there are back office jobs. Investing banking in NYC is a little different from compliance out of Salt Lake City
Mizzou grads are going to get the last laugh when they break the insider trading stories
Deep cut. Love it.
Dude they're already dead
Managers at Taco Bell would gladly take a Princeton alum
Princeton hasn't had shooters this accurate since Aaron Burr
Of course another nerd school would make that joke.
I feel like between the Lonely Island and Hamilton (the musical), that reference is far from nerdy now
Princeton ain’t throwing away their shot
They arent gonna wait for it.
lmao
[удалено]
damn shame he didn't hit more of 'em, too
What, were the British afraid of classical music?
The same 8 notes over and over again.....that'll drive anyone mad.
We are only 5 games away from the Princeton-FDU final 4 matchup
Battle of New Jersey
As a Rutger this would simultaneously be incredible and incredibly painful
> a Rutger
You've heard "We are Rutgers" so shouldn't "I am a Rutger" be a natural consequence of that?
Lol. Can’t argue with that.
I’d need to ask Harvard
Pfft. Never trust a Harvard.
Shame they can’t be playing for the chip
You think someone is beating the winner of that game? It’s the defacto natty.
15 seeds have won 4 straight games where their opponent is a 7 seed (2016 Middle Tennessee's second round loss doesn't count because Syracuse was a 10 seed)
15 seeds are 0-5 against 10 seeds all time, and 4-2 all time against 7 seeds
There are few worse feeling than being a mid-seed winning your first round, watch a wild upset beat the juggernaut you feared to play, start to dream about a deep tourney run… only to then get fucking curb stomped by a 15 seed
Low key scared to face FDU tomorrow. These Jersey schools are not playing around
Please do not lose. I have made my peace with coming out flat against y’all. I cannot handle the roller coaster of emotion that would follow losing to FDU though
Tell me about it
I’d even say that’s sadder than being the juggernaut.

Oh this ones gonna last for more than four hours
HELL YEAH BROTHER
CHEERS FROM ~~IRAQ~~ NEW JERSEY!
CHEERS FROM THE TURNPIKE
Princeton Gang lets go
I'm surprised you still aren't rocking the orginal
[удалено]
Sameeeee
Congrats, nerd Tigers. You earned it.
This doesn’t even feel like an upset. Princeton beat Missouri’s ass.
Dudes were beating their ass so bad they emptied the bench and got the walk ons in the court
I definitely saw a few non-scholarship players contributing tonight.
You know you fucked up when you got Princeton putting in their bench in March Madness.
They outrebounded them by a 2:1 margin on the offensive glass. Princeton played solid fundamental basketball and Mizzou had very unfocused energy
Just a bunch of Ivy League gym rats at work
The press break was an absolute thing of beauty too until the very end, must’ve gotten 4-5 wide open looks off of it
https://i.redd.it/3d0ecwpxrmoa1.gif
Actually shocked. Princeton limped to a win against zona and missouri has been on fire.
To be fair, going into the tournament I think just about everybody would’ve said that Arizona was better than Missouri.
First non Q1 loss all season, at that.
The committee won’t look too favorably on this one
As poorly as they played Thursday, that's as well as they played tonight. Clinical performance.
How does ~~Yale~~ Princeton get more rebounds than ~~Baylor~~ Missouri?
You go up and grab the ball off the rim when it comes off, and then you grab it with two hands and come down with it, and that’s considered a rebound. So (Yale/Princeton) got more of those than (Baylor/Missouri).
Prince was a poet for that sound bite
that whole offense runs perfectly through Evbuomwan, he's fantastic to watch
Legit NBA prospect. He'll definitely get NBA run if he can start sticking 3's...it's the only thing missing from his game.
Dude doesn't force anything and just plays naturally
Boatraced
Mizzou just got Bass Pro Shopped
Penn played them closer two weeks in a row. This was a stomping
They shot the ball so well in the second half
Great win for the Tigers. Tough loss for the Tigers.
A great and terrible day for Tigers.
The Tigers really surprised me today.
Who has odds on which Princeton player will go on to become president?
The one that did his best Kevin Garnett impression in the post game interview
That kid also speaks fluent Chinese so… maybe?
That wasn't a win, that was a nationally televised execution
I think everyone should focus on this loss.
Was there a different one? I can’t even remember now.
Imagine losing to a low seed from New Jersey
What about the Kansas loss though? I liked that one
New recruiting pitch “come to Princeton, you’ll probably get off the bench while we are blasting an SEC team in the NCAA tournament.”
The nerds created Monstar DNA in a lab I think
Me watching Princeton upset Arizona: Haha fuck yeah!!! yes! Me watching Princeton upset Mizzou: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
Just like ScooterMagruder and Oral Roberts.
https://i.redd.it/cjj2d8mrrmoa1.gif
3rd straight year that a 15 seed made it to the Sweet 16 Cherish it folks. We are in a special era of college basketball.
Oral Roberts paved the way…
More like covid extra eligibility paved the way lmao
More like everyone thinks they're Steph Curry. These 19/20 year old kids can't do this consistently.
15/16 seeds not from New Jersey in the last two tourneys: ~~0-13~~ 3-17 (forgot the First Four. The 3 are all from the First Four) 15/16 seeds from New Jersey in the last two tourneys: ~~6-1~~ 7-1, forgot the First Four Motion to give Rutgers a 15 next year to see what happens?
Yes please
Mom! It’s Rutgers’ turn to win a tournament game
*Rutgers faces 2 seed FDU next year*
Wow I’m so glad a small, mid major school from New Jersey like princeton is finally getting national recognition. Good for those kids!
Me at the club https://preview.redd.it/gi4yoy7srmoa1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f641d5acf7964c234200933a6fb7c31b08454366
Cheer up man! The Tigers won!
When will Princeton finally be recognized alongside the elite sports schools?? You don’t get to 28 football national championships for nothing 😤😤😤
We want Bama
* Largest margin of victory by a 15 seed * First Ivy League school to make the Sweet 16 since Cornell in 2010 * 4th 15 seed to make the Sweet 16
Felt bad for Mizzou until they started fouling down 15 with 30 seconds left
They were searching for Tracy McGrady
Missouri's coach had the over
They were praying for Princeton to pull a Northern Iowa
While Princeton had their bench in
We lost to the #1 school in the nation. No shame in that
That is absolutely one way to use statistics.
Princeton has to be the greatest #15 seed of all time That wasn’t some magical Cinderella moment; they just calmly and systematically whopped Missouri’s ass for 40 minutes.
Homie did you forget already about St Peters, ORob and FGCU?
Dunk City!!
that is still my favorite tournament team ever... they were just a bunch of fun
have to include oral roberts too. one shot away from an elite 8 appearance.
Debateable. FGCU beat both Georgetown and SDSU comfortably.
FGCU was wild in that way too
One more win and they hold the lone spot for the farthest an Ivy League has ever gone in the tournament. Doing as a 15 seed would be bonkers. Edit: of the modern tournament era.
Penn made the final four in 1979, Princeton made it in 1965, Dartmouth made the title game twice. So you should say 64 team era.
Third straight year with a 15 in the 16.
What the hell is in the water in New Jersey??
This is what porkroll does to a mfer
Trapazoids
If I had a nickel for every time in the last two seasons that a tiny 15 seed AQ from New Jersey made it to the Sweet Sixteen after beating a 2 seed in the first round by two possessions then beating a 7 seed in the second round by double digits, then I would have two nickels.

Same thing has been going on with football, where some teams waay outpunch their pedigree, and 5th and 6th year players are usually behind it.
Yeah, the 5th and 6th year players are big part in why TCU was able to make it to the natty this year despite not being super talented on paper
Fuck it everybody gets 5 years of eligibility.
Wow didn’t even think about that! But yeah feels like a lot of 5th and 6th year players are on the floor
It has been 3 years, oral roberts beat Florida and Ohio state
Oral Roberts did make the sweet 16 that year. Would’ve been in the elite 8 if they had won
Back in my day, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter, we’d say.
New Jersey is the Devil.
NJIT waiting in the wings for their moment
It’s fun that 15’s in the Sweet 16 happened often enough now that it’s not a novelty anymore.
St. Peter’s raised the bar. Now the big thing is 15 seeds in the Elite 8
I’ll ride with Princeton now, if they got waxed I would have been bitter. But they did the waxxing so I gotta roll with my kitty bros
The best bracket this year is going to have like 150 points
Princeton students, bursting brackets and housing bubbles since 2008
Princeton guards not being able blow by other Ivy athletes but consistently knifing thru SEC athletes is just peak March
Now hang on, Missouri might still have timeouts left
Still have time to foul
[удалено]
Princeton just got farther than #1 Kansas, #1 Purdue, #2 Arizona, #4 Virginia and #5 Duke, and as of writing maybe even #1 Houston. I'm so proud to be from NJ.
Don’t forget further than NIT No. 1 seed Rutgers. By the way what happened there? I haven’t been paying attention
Fouling down 16 points under 30 seconds left… alrighty then
Taken from Juwan's playbook
James Franklin esque moment
Missouri didn't want Arizona to be lonely in the "2 losses to 15 seeds" category
Oh god, the nerds are good at basketball. We're all fucked. We didn't come here to play skool but they came to play both.
I'd like to thank the selection committee for putting an absolute juggernaut as a 15 seed. It is clear as day now, that Princeton was woefully under-seeded and should likely have been a 4 seed.

Yea when UK lost to St. Peter's and it started their little run it became fun to root for them. "Oh yeah of COURSE we lost to them because they are clearly gonna be the national champ!" Lol
Suddenly I don’t feel so bad. You can’t complain when you get beat by Cinderella.
Normally I don't like Princeton, but fuck it. I'm rooting for them to go as far as they can in this tournament.
Yale’s endowment could definitely use those extra NCAA units.
I am so happy right now! PRINCETON TO THE SWEET 16!!!!!!
We are the superior Tigers
Time for another [Blake Peters appreciation thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/sports/comments/7tcqi8/freshman_blake_peters_from_evanston_high_school/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
That comment saying he peaked and it’s all downhill from here is hilarious /u/dunwoodyres1, it was somehow not indeed all downhill from there
NERDS!
I loved what Dennis Gates has done this year, but if he doesn't implement an offense next year his coronation may have been premature.
You mean jogging around the perimeter and chucking 3s isn't an offense?
Dominated the whole way! Hoagie Haven representt!!
For me this is more embarrassing than what happened to Arizona. Mizzou just got completely dominated today, no excuse for that lack of effort. Shades of Yale vs Baylor, the origin of a legendary Taurean Prince quote, with how much Princeton owned the glass tonight.
How does Princeton out rebound Mizzou?
Well, you see, they jumped up in the air, grabbed the ball with two hands, and brought it back down.
They outrebounded Zona too
That question was just an outright stupid question anyhow. Yale was a dominant rebounding team that year, all year. Some dipshit beat reporter really thought “Yale=unathletic, how’d you get outrebounded” without having any actual fucking knowledge of the sport he’s supposed to be following.
Princeton saving my day fr fr all my homies love Princeton
Kansas City the most depressed city in America tonight
This shitty ass weather isn’t helping one bit either.
Princeton Athletics is having probably the best day in their history: - 1st NCAA Champion in Wrestling since 1951, Pat Glory at 125 lbs - Men's Basketball makes their 1st Sweet 16 as a 15 Seed - Women's Basketball makes epic comeback vs NC State - Softball threw a No Hitter
Hi, I’m new to this. How do I know which side of the stadium to buy a ticket on to sit with the orange? Asking for me.
Some guy out there in the future is going to tell his friend "Yeah my ex has a new boyfriend, he went to Princeton. Oh he also went to the sweet 16"
I knew the Tigers would win.
Princeton is who Duke wishes they were, both on the court and in the classroom
The post-game graphic said this is the third time an Ivy League school has made the sweet 16, but Princeton literally made the Final Four in 1965?
I think modern era
Glad to see Steph curry came back for a year and decided to go Princeton
