On the other side of the SEC bracket the number 3 Georgia Bulldogs will take on the number 2 Arkansas Razorbacks. the two teams have met once this season that ended in a close won that Arkansas took 79-75 in Athens.

Both teams are listed as locks for the NCAA tournament but would love the chance to compete for an SEC title and raise their seeding.

Tip off is set for 3:30 eastern time right after the Kentucky vs Auburn game. My money is on the Razorbacks to take this one 68-62. If you feel the need to put some money on the game to make it more interesting, Mitch Wilson breaks down your chances.

"Arkansas is 6-13 against the spread in their last 19 neutral site games, 2-5 against the spread against the SEC, and 0-5 against the spread following a win. Georgia is 5-1 against the spread in their last six games, 3-1-1 against the spread in their last five neutral site games, and 4-0 against the spread following a win. The underdog has covered the point spread in six of the last eight meetings of these two."

A couple of big games outside of the Kentucky Wildcats to look forward to once the SEC final teams are determined. First head over to the Big 12 title game to watch Kansas take on Iowa State. The two teams split their series this season, but Kansas took the regular season title as usual. I like the Cyclones to pull out a close one 64-61.

After that game, if you are still craving a great game, tune into the ACC final between North Carolina and Notre Dame. Knocking out Duke and Virginia was impressive, but who has what it takes to take home the conference title? Notre Dame took the first one in a barn burner 71-70, look for the Tarheels to get their revenge with a big game from Marcus Paige. North Carolina 69 Notre Dame 60.

If you are still awake at this time, Arizona will be playing Oregon for the Pac 12 championship. Arizona has beaten the Ducks steadily this season twice. The Wildcats are looking to take home another title to bolster their odds of receiving a number 1 seed. The number 1 seed is possibility, the win tonight is likely, Arizona 76 Oregon 64.
