NEW ORLEANS - Lute Olson, Bob Knight and Mike Krzyzewski are already in the Basketball Hall of Fame. What else do they have in common? They're all out of the NCAA Tournament.

Olson's Wildcats ended an underachieving season with a loss to the Boilermakers, as the coach joined Krzyzewski and Knight as first-round losers.

This becomes the first tournament since 1995 to start the second round without any of these NCAA coaching greats.

"I think all three of us will hope that never happens again," Olson said. "We'll be back."

The Boilermakers (22-11) are certainly back, turned around quickly by second-year coach Matt Painter.

They won only seven games last season but earned a ninth seed in the Midwest Regional. Now they're headed to the second round for the first time since 2003.

"We've had some tough times," Painter said. "To be able to get a first-round win against a national program like Arizona, it's huge."

Carl Landry led the way, as usual, with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Chase Budinger led Arizona (20-11) with 15 points.
