There's still a little time left before college basketball's Championship Week, a pleasant prelude to the NCAA Tournament. By now we know who the favorites are in the major conference tournaments: ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC.
It may seem like the dog days of the college hoops season, but while the weather is cold outside, the play is heating up on the hardwood. Conference season is going strong, and we've already had some big games go down with a bunch more the rest of the way.
We started the season with Duke as the No. 1 team and ended it with Villanova as the top squad, and neither school is still around after the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
