Hey all, the SEC just handed out its conference player of the week award and forward Korvotney Barber took it after averaging 14.5 points and 17.0 rebounds in the Tigers’ victories against Alabama and LSU last week.

The senior finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds in a 69-53 rout of No. 12 LSU in what might have been his final game at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum.

Barber is the only player to average a double-double in league play, with 12.8 points and 11.3 rebounds.

On the bubble watch front, Auburn can start some scoreboard watching this week as the smaller conferences finish up their tournaments. The Tigers had better hope for all chalk in these things. No Cinderellas allowed.

That means teams like Gonzaga, Memphis, Xavier and Butler -- all of which are going to be at-large selections for the tournament -- need to win their conference tournaments so somebody else doesn't steal an automatic bid.

Already, Creighton and Davidson lost early in their tournaments during championship week, making their NCAA fate very unsure. Nevertheless, they don't have resumes that approach those first four, which are locks to make the field regardless of what happens this week.

Today's game of note:

St. Mary's vs. Gonzaga, West Coast Conference finals, 9 p.m. EST: The Bulldogs (25-5) are ranked 14th in the country, so they're going to make the tournament no matter how this game turns out. St. Mary's (25-5, 10-4 WCC) doesn't have that same luxury. The Gaels could pull the upset. Aussie guard Patty Mills is back after missing five weeks with a broken hand. On the at-large front, the school even went as far as to add another game before selection Sunday, scheduling a matchup with Eastern Washington on March 13 just last week. It sounds shady, but apparently NCAA rules allow a teams under the 30-game threshold during the regular season to add a game.
