The final week of the men’s college basketball regular season is upon us. Before we can look ahead to the usual chaos that March has to offer, there are a few loose ends to tie up.

SEC programs like Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma are hoping the depth of talent in the conference will win them favor. Ohio State and Indiana, despite ups and downs this season, now find themselves in a win-and-in game. And North Carolina will be playing for more than the usual rivalry bragging rights against Duke.
