The NCAA basketball regular season is coming to a close. Here is a quick look at how the AP Top 10 fared last week in terms of betting, especially against the spread, as the NCAA tournament quickly approaches.
No. 1 ranked Villanova will likely drop from the top ranking on Monday when the new rankings are released. The Wildcats were 1-1 SU and ATS this past week, losing to Xavier on Wednesday following three consecutive weeks at No. 1.
No. ranked Kansas on the week was 2-0 SU and 1-1 ATS. They should take over the No. 1 spot this week. Kansas is 8-1 ATS over its past 9 games.
No. 3 ranked Oklahoma was 1-1 SU and ATS this week. The Sooners lost to Texas on Saturday and are just 2-5 ATS over their past 7 played.
Tied at No. 3, Virginia was 1-1 SU and ATS. The Cavaliers lost on Big Monday, but defeated North Carolina on Saturday.
No. 5 ranked Xavier was 1-1 SU and ATS this past week. The Musketeers upset No. 1 Villanova but were upset on Sunday on the road against Seton Hall. Xavier is 4-1 ATS over its past 5 games played.
No. 6 ranked Michigan State was 2-0 SU and ATS. The team is peaking at precisely the right time. The Spartans are 8-1 SU and 9-0 ATS over their past 9 games played.
No. 7 ranked North Carolina was 1-1 SU and ATS. The Tar Heels have struggled to find consistency. The Heels are 4-4 SU and 3-5 ATS over their last eight games played.
No. 8 ranked Iowa was 0-2 SU and 2-0 ATS. The Hawkeyes lost to Ohio State on Sunday and have now lost three straight overall and four of its last five. The Hawkeyes are 0-5 ATS in their past five played.
No. 9 ranked Arizona was 0-2 SU and ATS. Arizona appeared to be playing well following a bad run in late January, but lost two this past week. Arizona is 1-4 ATS over its past five games.
No. 10 ranked Maryland was 0-1 SU and 0-0-1 ATS. Maryland is just 1-3 SU and 0-3-1 ATS in its last four outings overall. The Terrapins have lost 4 of their last 6 road games.
