High Point Scorers: Arizona -- Wise 21  Cleveland State -- Norris Cole 17

Analysis: The last will be first? Well, if it's true the Wildcats were the last team in the tournament, the committee certainly looks smart. But consider the ballclub is really good and plays very good defense. The Vikings made only three of 23 3-point attempts. Again, the big three of Wise, Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill were key as they combined for 52 of the the Wildcats' 71 points. As they go, so goes Arizona.

What's Next: Arizona makes its 12th appearance in the Sweet 16 since 1988 and will meet No. Louisville, which held off No. 9 Siena, 79-72. If you had looked at the brackets, Arizona would have likely appeared to reach this round. But now that the Wildcats are here, they are playing with house money. Should be a fun matchup in the low post between Louisville's Earl Clark and Hill.
