President Obama and his family were in College Park, Maryland, to watch his niece, Leslie Robinson, a freshman forward for the Princeton Tigers, take on Green Bay. Robinson’s father, President Obama’s brother-in-law, Craig, is a Princeton alumnus and former college basketball coach.

After a few, nail-biting close calls, Saturday’s game concluded 80-70 in favor of Princeton, helping the team continue its perfect season with a 31-0 record. Now the Tigers will move on to face the University of Maryland.
