Michelle Obama saw her alma mater Princeton take on American University in a women's basketball game Sunday night.

Obama's niece Leslie Robinson is a freshman for the Tigers, who won 63-56. The first lady, who attended the game with her daughters and mother, graduated Princeton in 1985.

She spoke with the Tigers at the half, knocking on the locker room door and asking, "if she was interrupting anything." The first family stayed for the entire game, sitting directly behind the Princeton bench.

Princeton coach Courtney Banghart said that the game was scheduled so that the first family could potentially attend.

The Tigers had a private tour of the White House on Saturday, getting to play on the basketball court there.
