Princeton coach Mitch Henderson made some March Madness history as a player, but says his team’s upset over Arizona “feels a million times better.”
The win was “one the best feelings of my life, and I don’t say that lightly,” guard Blake Peters said. “It was a David-vs.-Goliath matchup.”“It was a very surreal feeling, so many things happening so fast,” Martini said. “I was up at 6 a.m. [Friday], couldn’t go back to sleep.”
Being more than 2,800 miles away from the Princeton campus presents some challenges. If the members of the Princeton band looked a little young, it’s because they were high school fill-ins, brought in from West Campus High School in Sacramento. He also told his players to “enjoy the moment again” and to “take very seriously and respectfully the strengths of your opponent. I thought we were able to that in round one, hopefully we’ll do that in round two.”
