Arizona Men's Basketball has earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament's South Region and will play Princeton in the first round this Thursday in Sacramento, California.

It's the Wildcats 37th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and second consecutive appearance under Tommy Lloyd. Last year, Arizona advanced to the Sweet 16th for the 20th time in program history.

Local fans gathered at Union House for the March Madness bracket reveal, as they saw the Wildcats earning a No. 2 seed.

The Wildcats are set to play the Princeton Tigers, who have a history of playing against top teams in the NCAA tournament.

If the Wildcats win the game, they'll play against either No. 7 seed Missouri or No. 10 seed Utah State.
