With teams fully engaged in conference play, BetUS Sportsbook takes a look at how some of the small schools have performed against the NCAA basketball point spread in this week's college basketball power rankings...
1: St. Mary's Gaels (12-2 ATS, 15-2 SU) So the Gaels are mortal after all... They still top the college basketball power rankings in spite of the fact that they failed to cover at Santa Clara on Sunday night. The biggies are up this week, as the Zags and Pilots come to town.
On Deck: Home vs. Gonzaga, Home vs. Portland
2: Northern Iowa Panthers (11-3 ATS, 14-1 SU) The Panthers have covered each of their NCAA basketball betting point spread since November 28th, and they haven't been beaten SU since a loss on November 20th to DePaul. With three road wins already recorded in the Valley, UNI should be dancing regardless of whether it wins its conference or not.
On Deck: Home vs. Bradley, Home vs. Indiana State
3: Cornell Big Red (9-3 ATS, 13-3 SU) How about some respect for the Ivy League? Cornell was incredibly pesky against Kansas in Lawrence last week and nearly pulled off the shocker of shockers against the #1 team in the land as three touchdown pups on the NCAA basketball spread. Ivy League play kicks off this week.
On Deck: Home vs. Clarkson, Home vs. Columbia
4: Weber State Wildcats (9-3 ATS, 10-7 SU) The Wildcats have notched four straight covers to find themselves in the small schools college basketball power rankings. The perennial Big Sky powers hit the road one more time this week before playing three at home.
On Deck: Away @ Idaho State
5: UNLV Runnin' Rebels (10-4 ATS, 13-3 SU) It's hard to say that the Rebels are really a "small school," but the MWC certainly doesn't garner the respect that it deserves. A win at the Pit last weekend should've really turned some heads and showed just how good UNLV really is.
On Deck: Home vs. San Diego State, Home vs. Utah
6: William & Mary Tribe (8-2 ATS, 12-3 SU) The Tribe could be making a heck of a case to join the Field of 65 regardless of whether or not they win the tough NCAA or not this year. Why not? They've already got massive victories at Drexel, Hofstra, Maryland, and Wake Forest on their resume.
On Deck: Home vs. James Madison, Home vs. Hofstra
7: Northeastern Huskies (10-4-1 ATS, 9-7 SU) After a rough start to the season, the Huskies have now rolled off seven straight victories both SU and ATS. That has to scare the heck out of the rest of the NCAA, as one of the traditional powers of this conference is back and is on absolute fire right now.
On Deck: Home vs. Delaware, Home vs. UNC-Wilmington
8: Wofford Terriers (9-3 ATS, 10-7 SU) The SoCon makes an appearance in the top ATS small schools in the land. Wofford has won and covered three straight, all of which have come on the road. Let's see how well the Terriers do when they come home to face off with two of the traditional big boys of the conference that are both down this year.
On Deck: Home vs. Georgia Southern, Home vs. Davidson
And the rest...
9: Marshall Thundering Herd (7-2 ATS, 13-2 SU)
10: New Mexico Lobos (10-5-1 ATS, 14-3 SU)
11: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (8-3 ATS, 15-2 SU)
12: Air Force Falcons (6-2 ATS, 8-7 SU)
13: Harvard Crimson (6-2 ATS, 12-3 SU)
14: Siena Saints (9-5 ATS, 12-4 SU)
15: Richmond Spiders (8-4 ATS, 12-5 SU)
