The college basketball regular season is down to its final week, and in the Southeastern Conference, a regular-season champion has been crowned. Kentucky has clinched the title plus the No. 1 seed in next week’s SEC tournament in Nashville. The uncertainty starts after the Wildcats. There are still a few teams scrapping for the other three top-four seeds and double byes at Bridgestone Arena. Beyond Nashville, there are major NCAA Tournament stakes at play the next two weeks.
ESPN and CBS both project only four SEC teams on the NCAA bracket: Kentucky (3 seed by both), Auburn (5 seed by both), LSU (8/9 seed) and Florida (9 seed by both).
