• The Detroit Free Press writes, "The biggest surprise [of the NCAAs] might be the lack of teams from outside the power conferences. In 2010 Butler, Cornell, Northern Iowa and St. Mary's reached the Sweet 16."

• Similarly, the San Francisco Chronicle writes of this year's Tournament, "There is no Florida Gulf Coast, Ohio, Cornell, Kent State, Davidson, Milwaukee, George Mason, Western Kentucky, Southwest Missouri State, Miami of Ohio, Valparaiso or Chattanooga, all of whom reached the Sweet 16 in the past 17 years."

• The Evening Tribune remembers its 1994 high school all star selections and notes of a player who committed to Cornell but never played for the Big Red.
