PHOENIX – A Jan. 10 story on the opening of the NCAA’s annual convention and the countdown to the Final Four incorrectly reported the population of Phoenix. The story should have said that the population of Arizona has continued to grow since the last Final Four in Phoenix, in 2017, with the state having more than 7.4 million residents by 2023.
