It's 3 weeks to the last game of the conference slate and are all the races already decided for the major conferences? Are there any games to look forward to other than some bubble duking and pole positioning for mid range seeds?

B1G: Wisconsin actually has a relatively tough schedule left. But no way they give up a 3 game lead.

SEC: :lol:

Big 12: Kansas has a 2 game lead over Iowa State and they are done with them. Even if Kansas loses 2 games which is not too likely, Iowa State has to run the table, which is even less likely.

ACC: This would be wrapped up if not for Anderson's injury. I think they have the hang of playing without him now. I do think they will lose once or twice, but I also think Duke will lose again. Serious flaw not having UVA, Duke and UNC play each other twice.

Big East: First off, yes I do think the Big East belongs here. :nod: In January, I thought Georgetown would seriously challenge Villanova for the title, but they have underperformed IMO. Nova is not giving up a 2-3 game lead and none of the other teams will run the table because they'll be beating each other up.

Pac 12: On paper, this is still a race. And Arizona could very well lose again. But I haven't seen anything that suggests that the Utes can beat Arizona, even in Utah.

Any drama left? Or all ovah?

Pac12 is about it. I'm interested in how the mvc finishes. 2 high caliber teams fighting it out. A small edge has to go to Wichita because the remaining game between them and uni is at wichita. If whoever wins that game wins out and also takes the tourney title they should wrap up at worst a 2 seed

Only reason ACC is done is because of favorable scheduling.

Virginia only played UNC and ND once while Duke play those teams 2x each

To be fair they beat both those teams on the road.

Neither of those two teams put much fear in ya away from their places.

I think the OP has it right. Not much drama remaining. Now it's a matter of deciding the seeds. Either a 1 or 2 seed should get a team easy competition until the sweet 16 and then all bets are off,
