The West Coast Conference ends its regular season this week, while Utah and Weber State have opportunities to make a big jump in their respective conference races and UVU can earn the chance to jump a critical spot in its league standings.

Time is quickly ticking down on the college basketball regular season, meaning the posturing for conference tournament seeding is at a premium in nearly every game.
