It has been quite the week for college basketball. With the claims and reports of Sean Miller paying freshman DeAndre Ayton $100,000 thrust into the national spotlight, college hoops has had a busy week. I will reserve my thoughts on the Sean Miller and University of Arizona situation for another time, but for now, let's focus on the big tournament that is only two weeks away. That's right, the Big Dance is right around the corner. As we enter the last week of regular season action, here's a look at how I see the NCAA Tournament looking.
