Falling in the ESPN Bracketology seeding to a #10 is actually a blessing in disguise for Princeton, if their ultimate goal is (as I think it is) to get past the NCAA first weekend. Before the Columbia loss Bracketology had them as a #9 seed who, if they won the first-round game, would have had to play #1 seed Stanford. Playing a #2 or #3 seed would seem to improve the odds of a second-round win (see near misses in 2022 and 2023 against Indiana and Utah).
