- The Arizona Daily recalls the Arizona 1988 NCAA Tournament team that reached the Final Four and writes, "How they got there: Led by stars Sean Elliott and Steve Kerr, Arizona won the Pac-10's regular season with a 17-1 record, took the conference tournament and - as a No. 1 seed in the West Region - rolled past Cornell and Seton Hall by a combined 69 points."
- The Bleacher Report writes, "From 2002 to 2008, eight of the nine mid-majors with a double-digit seed (we’ll call them MMDD for short) that made the Sweet 16 had won their conference’s regular season title... In 2009, we didn’t have any MMDDs get to the Sweet 16 and the next year both Cornell and Saint Mary’s made it. Cornell ran away with the Ivy League title, and Saint Mary’s finished second to Gonzaga."
- The Wichita Eagle writes, "The only sure thing is that WSU put itself in position to grab this opportunity. Many teams go to the Sweet 16 and are rarely — or never — heard from again. Kent State made the Sweet 16 in 2002. Washington State in 2008. Cornell in 2010. WSU advanced in 2006 and didn’t return to the NCAA Tournament until 2012."
