Cinderella (Princeton) Tigers? Fans, media flame Mizzou’s rough Round of 32 loss

Princeton basketball is on to the Sweet 16 in the Year 2023!
Missouri, a No. 7 seed that breezed past Utah State on Thursday, was stunned Saturday evening at the hands of the Princeton Tigers. Princeton’s offense made Missouri’s defense look rough, and that’s putting it nicely.
There are times where it looked like Mizzou was completely uninterested in playing basketball. This marks the 3rd straight season a 15-seed has reached the Sweet 16. And with how wild of a tournament this has been, this result seems barely out of the ordinary. Fairleigh Dickinson shocked the world Friday night by beating 1-seed Purdue, becoming just the 2nd 16 seed to own a No. 1 seed.
But fans weren’t quite ready to let Mizzou off the hook. They flamed the Tigers on social media following a rough performance against Princeton Saturday.
Look at Missouri ?

Congrats to Missouri on joining Arizona as the second program to have two losses to 15 seeds, in arguably funnier fashion!

Any other SEC teams want to join us in the Sweet 16? Not you, Missouri.
