The top dozen men's basketball teams survived the regular season, but it's now one-and-done time in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA).

Four teams have already punched their tickets to OCAA provincials. They include east regional champion and OCAA championship host Durham College (17-3), east runner-up Georgian College (14-6), west regional champion Humber College (17-1) as well as west runner-up Mohawk College (15-3).

The other eight teams will square off in an elimination round to determine the other four quarter-finalists. Teams will play an opponent from the opposite division based on seeding for the opportunity to advance to provincials.

The elite eight will be on display at the belairdirect OCAA Men's Basketball Championship from March 6-8 at Durham College in Oshawa, Ont.

Here is a look at the four qualifying games.

Lambton (10-8, 5th West) at Centennial (12-8, 4th East)
Saturday, Feb. 28 - 2 p.m.

Two teams on long OCAA medal droughts tip off the OCAA post-season with a berth to the OCAA championship on the line.

Lambton had positive turnaround this season after going 7-11 in 2013-14. They are led by fourth-year forward Mike Lucier (Forest, Ont.), who averaged a double double at 17.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. The Lions dropped two home games to end the regular season, costing them a home playoff game.

Centennial has struggled in the second half of the regular season going 4-6. The Colts feature second-year forward Joseph Wani (Scarborough, Ont.) and fourth-year guard Ian Francis (Toronto) who are averaging 19.5 and 17.3 points per game, respectively.

Both Centennial and Lambton lost in the qualifying round last season. The winner plays Humber in the OCAA quarter-finals.

George Brown (11-9, 6th East) at Fanshawe (13-5, 3rd East)
Saturday, Feb. 28 - 3 p.m.

The George Brown Huskies and Fanshawe Falcons both competed at last year's provincials. Only one of the these teams gets the honour this time around.

Fanshawe may have been overshadowed by the play of Humber and Mohawk in its division, but the Falcons have put together a strong campaign. In fact, Fanshawe went 1-1 against both of these teams during the regular season. Any conversation about championship contenders should include the Falcons.

The Falcons are led by third-year guard Chris Stanhope (Markham, Ont.) who averaged 17.3 points per game in 2014-15.

Fanshawe will have to get by George Brown, who features fifth-year guard Akai Nettey (Etobicoke, Ont.) and his 18.6 points per game average. The Huskies are winners of four of their last five games to secure the final seed in the east.

Fanshawe were last awarded an OCAA in 2012 when it received bronze. George Brown has been medal-less since 1990. The winner of the qualifier between these teams takes on Georgian in the quarter-finals.

Niagara (8-10, 6th West) at Seneca (13-7, 3rd East)
Saturday, Feb. 28 - 6 p.m.

Two teams that have been on a roll to end the regular season are on a collision course with one program about to be derailed.

The Seneca Sting won six of their last seven games to secure the third seed from the east. Fifth-year veteran Felix Adjei (Toronto) has been a key cog in the locomotive, scoring over 30 points in three of his last six games.

Niagara won five of its last six games then got some help to secure the final playoff spot in the west. The Knights eliminated two-time reigning OCAA champion Sheridan with a 99-76 win in the regular season finale between these teams. First-year forward Delroy Grandison (Jamaica) scored a game-high 26 points in the victory.

Despite their sub-.500 record, the Knights improved by five wins this season. Seneca also won more games than 2013-14, when it was 10-10.

Seneca won its qualifying game on home court against Lambton last year. The winner between Niagara and Seneca takes on Mohawk in the OCAA quarter-finals.

St. Lawrence-Kingston (12-8, 5th East) at Redeemer (11-7, 4th West)
Saturday, Feb. 28 - 8:30 p.m.

The Redeemer Royals will go where no Royals men's basketball team has gone before as they play in their first-ever OCAA playoff game.

As an added bonus, the Royals get to play the game at home. Redeemer is led by fifth-year forward Calvin Turnbull (Burlington, Ont.) who averaged 18.4 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.

The St. Lawrence Vikings were winners of 10 straight before losing their final three regular season games. Fourth-year guard Andrew Dawkins (Brampton, Ont.) led the Vikings averaging 20.2 points per game.

The Royals were streaky too, winning nine straight at one point. Each team just needs a post-season streak of one win to take on Durham in the quarter-finals.
