The Tigers drew a 13 seed in the East and will play fourth-seeded Kentucky on Thursday in Tampa, Florida. Princeton last played the Wildcats in the 1977 NCAA Tournament.
Tipoff time will be at roughly 2:45 pm ET and the game will air on CBS.
Interviews from Princeton's Selection Sunday event with Douglas Davis, Coach Sydney Johnson, Dan Mavraides and Kareem Maddox can all be found after the jump - along with video of the team's reaction when their name came up on the giant television at the Frist Campus Center.
I decided that win or lose, I'd film the final play of Saturday's playoff from my viewpoint behind the Princeton bench.
While I do remember involuntarily screaming "oh my god!" at the final buzzer, I don't recall yelping it 5X more times as the camera blacked out, strangers hugged strangers and people on Princeton's side of the gym ran up and down the aisles celebrating.
I'm not ashamed.
Stick through the darkness - a minute or so later I was able to hurdle a higher-than-I-realized barrier and get down on the floor to capture the scene. I'll most likely get this beautiful chaos up on YouTube in higher resolution later in the week but I wanted you to see the raw footage first - a lot of great moments can be found therein.
Alternate angles of Douglas Davis' shot keep showing up on the Internet. I can't stop watching them. The first is very nicely edited and produced. More after the jump.
While watching these on loop is making writing a game story exceedingly difficult, I can't imagine most site visitors are tiring of these alternate views.
To give those who couldn't make it tonight a better feel of what happened at the Palestra as time ran out, here's a video shot on the baseline of the final seconds. A second video of Princeton's celebration with the Tiger fans in the stands can be found after the jump.
The latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon discuss the end of Princeton/Harvard on Pardon The Interruption. More clips, interviews and footage after the jump.

Over the past decade, Princeton's annual trips to Harvard have resulted in some of the wackiest basketball games you could design. Buzzer beaters. Titanic shifts in momentum. Improbable comebacks where each and every lead is painfully insecure until time runs out.
The stands on both sides of Lavietes Pavilion - thanks very much in part to the work of Bob Ruxin '76 and PANE - are almost always a crowded, spirited combination of Crimson and Tiger supporters. It doesn't matter how successful or how struggling either program is - This little gym is heavy on atmosphere and high on drama.
Saturday's game between Harvard and Princeton, regardless of how the former does versus Penn at home or how the latter performs against Dartmouth in Hanover on Friday night, will occur with the Ivy League's NCAA tournament participant yet to be decided.
I've been planning a chronological game-by-game review of the Tigers' last 10 trips to Allston since the fall and after the jump you'll find detailed write-ups on each (seven of which have not been published previously on the site) plus exclusive video of a pair of Princeton game-winners.
princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
