Complete Performance

For most of Duke's last game, it looked like coach Mike Krzyzewski would have to wait four more days to get his next milestone win. Then the legendary coach turned over the huddle to his players.

After Krzyzewski's unorthodox approach led to a late comeback and his 800th career victory, the sixth-ranked Blue Devils look for a more complete performance as they visit Virginia on Wednesday.

A Little Desperate

After last week's No. 1 ranking proved to be just a temporary reward, Tennessee hopes this week ends with something more permanent: its first outright SEC title in 41 years.

The fourth-ranked Volunteers can clinch at least a share of the league title with a win on Wednesday at Florida, the reigning SEC and national champions who are now desperate to improve their chances of making the NCAA tournament.

Finish on a High Note

Memphis already has clinched its third straight Conference USA regular-season title, but surely would like to finish it off in emphatic fashion again.

The second-ranked Tigers look to move within one win of a second consecutive perfect regular season in conference play when they visit SMU on Wednesday night.

Having Their Number

Purdue's chances of winning its first Big Ten title in 12 years and securing the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament will depend on how well it finishes on the road this week.

The 15th-ranked Boilermakers look to take a one-half game lead atop the league standings as they try to snap a seven-game road losing streak to Ohio State on Tuesday night.

Wrapping up at Home

North Carolina is back at No. 1, but coach Roy Williams knows that doesn't mean much at this point in the season.

The top-ranked Tar Heels play their final home game on Tuesday when they face Florida State.
