Welp, Joe Biden isn’t winning the White House’s March Madness pool … ’cause the president’s pick for NCAA champion — two-seed University of Arizona — just lost to 15-seed Princeton in the most shocking upset of the young tourney!
The Ivy League team was near 15-point underdogs against Arizona … but as the saying goes, that’s why you play the game. The Tigers ultimately won 59-55. The Wildcats were up one at the half, but scored a paltry 24 points in the second half, and couldn’t buy a bucket late in the game.
As for #46, he didn’t just have AZ advancing past Princeton, he had the Pac-12 team going all the way to the Final Four, where he picked them to defeat one-seed Kansas.
In fairness to the prez, the Wildcats were a popular pick to advance far in the tourney … and many had them winning the whole thing.
The Wildcats, who won the NCAA Championship in 1997, are now headed back to Tucson. The Tigers will now play seven-seed Missouri on Saturday … where Princeton has opened as six-point underdogs.
Sorry, Joe.
