Kentucky is not the only undefeated team this March.

The Princeton women’s basketball team entered the 2015 NCAA Tournament with a perfect 30-0 mark. But with only three wins over tournament teams, none of which are single-digit seeds, the Tigers were slotted as a No. 8 seed.

The Tigers will have their work cut out for them if they want to complete the perfect season, but they will have a powerful fan on their side: President Barack Obama.

On the Princeton roster is Obama’s niece, Leslie Robinson. The freshman forward is the daughter of Craig Robinson, the former Princeton star and ex-Oregon State head coach.

Princeton beat Wisconsin-Green Bay, 80-70 on Saturday for the Tigers’ first NCAA tournament win. Obama has Princeton going to the Final Four in his bracket.
