SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Arizona’s shocking upset loss to Princeton not only brought an abrupt end to the season, it also kept the Wildcats and some players from moving up the school’s single-season and all-time lists.
It also caused the program to live in an infamy all its own, as Arizona becomes the first school in NCAA Tournament history to lose twice to a No. 15 seed. The Wildcats also did so in 1993 when they fell to Santa Clara (and future NBA Hall of Famer Steve Nash) … and then made the Final Four a year later.
Arizona finished with a 28-7 record, tied for the 11th-most wins in school history.
