DMACK'S WASHINGTON/USC BAIL OUT SPECIAL winner is on the USC Trojans The Huskies are a .500 Pac12 team that has done it's best work on it's home court. USC is off B2B losses to all people, Arizona and UCLA, each team playing arguably their best games of the 2022 season. The Trojans get their confidence back here versus a team that they beat by 10 in their only meeting during the season. USC just locked up Trojan HC Andy Enfield on an extension. USC is going to be a tough out in the Big Dance and you'll see exactly why here. USC 84-67. |

03-10-22 | St. John's v. Villanova -6.5 | 65-66 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURS BIG BALLER BEAT DOWN winner is on the Villanova Wildcats Villanova has won seven of eight and as we all know, this is time that Jay Wight shines. The Wildcats are an experienced veteran bunch that uses it's bench sparingly. The beat St John's twice during the year by 6 and 11 points. Over the last five years, Villanova is 11-2 in this tournament and figures to put the Johnnies down in routine fashion here. Nova 84-70. |

03-10-22 | West Virginia v. Kansas -9.5 | 63-87 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SELECTION THURSDAY MATNEE MAULER winner is on the Kansas Jayhawks Kansas has done everything it could do to play themselves out of a one-seed. That said, they can get back in the mix by winning the Big 12 tournament where they will likely face Baylor down the line. West Virginia is 16-16 for Huggie and needs a win here for any shot at the post-season. Kansas is not a good matchup for the Mounties who were swept in the season series 85-59 and 71-58. Expect Self to turn his troop loose on WVU to try and get some MOJO working. |

03-09-22 | Minnesota v. Penn State -3 | 51-60 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS COLLEGE HOOP PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Penn State Nittany Lions Minnesota has lost four straight and 15 of their L18. The Gophers really look like they've mailed it in and it showed in their final two games, double-digit road losses at Maryland and Northwestern. Not good! Penn State wasn't up to the rigors of the Big Ten this year nut the its do play hard every night as evidenced by losing four of their last five but covering eight of their L10. The Nits started the year as the 11th most experienced team by number of starts so you have a veteran team that beat Minnesota 67-46 in Happy Valley back on February 19th. Penn State rallies for a win here before getting sent home early tomorrow. |

03-09-22 | Knicks v. Mavs -8 | 107-77 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS NBA POWER PACK winner is on the Dallas Mavs Dallas has won five straight, and has played itself into a half game deficit for third place in the West. Luka is really having fun right night and the Mavericks trade deadline pick ups have made this team even deeper as we head deep into the second half. This is game five of an extended seven game roadie with Memphis and Brooklyn still on deck. Knicks haven't needed to find ways to lose but at this point it might simply be a question of how much is in the tank. Dallas 118-104. |
|||||||
03-09-22 | Magic v. Pelicans -8.5 | 108-102 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS NBA POWER PACK winner is on the New Orleans Pelicans The Pelicans are a new team since acquiring C.J. McCollum They've lost two straight, an OT game at Denver and at red hot Memphis without Brandon Ingram who sat it out with a tight hammy. Prior was four straight wins, 124-90 over Utah, 125-95 over Sacrament, 123-95 at Lakers and 117-102 at Phoenix. NOLA just a game behind the Lakers, at home, and figure to spank the Magic here. |
|||||||
03-09-22 | Suns +7.5 v. Heat | 111-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS NBA POWER PACK winner is on the Phoenix Suns The Suns have the best record in the NBA. They've been missing Chris Paul since the All-Star Break and have been skating with Devin Booker out the last week dealing with Covid protocols. He's a game-time decision here and it figures he'll play and Phoenix just got by Orlando last night and will be all hands on deck here against the top team in the East. Miami is not a killer by any means and we'll be catching the seven and a hook with a team that is 52-13. Take it. |
|||||||
03-08-22 | Quinnipiac v. Marist -2.5 | 77-52 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MAAC CONF TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR winner is on Marist Neither team is very good but in this matchup, we fing two teams on the opposite ends of form sprees and a team that can get a huge monkey off it's back. Quinnipiac has pretty much quit and will be happy to turn in their gear and have the weekend off. The Bobcats have lost six straight, and nine of ten. Marist has won six of eight primarily on Foxes having the second best shooting percentage in the 11 team Metro Atlantic. Marist has lost six straight in this round of the tournament and the Foxes have some momentum going here to find out what it's like to move on. Marist 70-59. |

03-07-22 | Kings v. Bruins -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MONDAY NHL PUCKLINE SPECIAL winner is on the Boston Bruins We very rarely go to the puckline for a play preferring most times just to pass but really like the spot tonight and the opportunity to pick up an extra 35 cents. This if the Kings fourth game in six nights of a very buy East Coast swing and eight nights ago, LA was beaten by these same Boston Bruins 7-0 on ice ice. In that game, the Bruins abused both King goaltenders as Quick was given a quick hook. Boston is hitting on all cylinders and is 4-1 in L5. Three of the wins were by the puckline and the one that wasn't was a 4-3 OT at the very tough on home ice Blue Jackets. All three Bruin snipers are in excellent form, especially Pastrnak who can do no wrong since the first of the year. Boston 5-2. |

03-07-22 | South Dakota v. South Dakota State -7.5 | 60-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUMMIT LEAGUE TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR winner is on the South Dakota State Jackrabbits The Jacks have gone through conference play at 19-0 and beat their cross-state rival twice by double-digits, 19 and 10. State is a team of all wing players that can shoot the lights out. They're first in the country behind the arc at 44.3% and this has been their M.O. for several years. Win b the three and die by the three as evidenced by the Jacks not having won this tournament since 2018. The Coyotes have been playing well but they've played the No.304 toughest schedule in Div-I and just don't have the chops to win here. Lay it. |
|||||||
03-07-22 | Delaware v. Towson -6 | 69-56 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MON COLLEGE HOOPS EARLY BULLET is on Towson State This is a CAA tournament neutral court game in Washington D.C. both teams played yesterday, and both teams were hard used due to early deficits. That said, Towson has won seven straight with a quick stingy defense and relentless offensive rebounding (No.9 in the country). The Tigers beat the Blue Hens twice handily during the regular season (7,12) and with Delaware just 1-3 straight up last four and 4-6 L10, their is no form spree indicating the result will be any different here. Towson by 10-14. |
|||||||
03-06-22 | Iowa +3.5 v. Illinois | 72-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH winner is on the Iowa Hawkeyes The Tiger Hawks have really found themselves in the second half of the Big Ten schedule, 8-1 L9, and 6-2 vs. the points. These teams met in early December with Illinois winning 87-83 in Iowa City but these are very different team three months later. Iowa scores a lot of points and face the 21st worst defense in the country vs. offense inside the paint. If Iowa takes care of their defensive boards and hold the Illini to one shot, the Hawkeyes could win this game by double-digits. Iowa straight up. |
|||||||
03-06-22 | Grizzlies -10.5 v. Rockets | 112-123 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUNDAY NBA BULLY BEATDOWN winner is on the Memphis Grizzlies Laying double-digits on the road is not the ideal blueprint to make money betting on the NBA but you just have to consider this matchup. The Rockets are the worst team in the NBA at 15-48, have a point differential of 10 ppg. Houston is 2-8 L10 and of the eight losses include L's of 15-13-31-34-19. Not an optimum spot for Memphis who played last night, expending little energy in beating a similar Orlando by 28. The Grizz just leapfrogged Golden State into second in the West and won't take anything for granted here. Memphis 129-106. |
|||||||
03-05-22 | UNLV -3.5 v. New Mexico | 67-76 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 48 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SAT LATE 3-GAME NCAAB POWER PACK winner is on the UNLV Rebels The Rebels are two games away from 20 wins in Kevin Kruger's first season and improving every outing. UNLV would have to win the Mountain West tournament to dance but the NIT is a very real possibility and would be quite an accomplishment considering the recent fortunes of UNLV. New Mexico had a short run but the Lobos are just 1-4 L5 with a win over Air Force which says it all. UNLV by 10. |
|||||||
03-05-22 | USC +8 v. UCLA | 68-75 | Win | 100 | 16 h 47 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SAT LATE 3-GAME NCAAB POWER PACK winner is on the USC Trojans The Trojans are 25-5 and have won five of six. UCLA has won four of five. Both teams are in The Dance but lets look at the series. USC has won the last five meetings including the last two played here at Pauley Pavilion. The Trojans are supremely coached by Andy Enfield, the same guy that led Florida Gold Coast on it's run a decade ago. To get eight points here is impossible to pass up. |
|||||||
03-05-22 | St. John's +4.5 v. Marquette | 77-85 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SAT LATE 3-GAME NCAAB POWER PACK winner is on the St Johns Red Storm Marquette went on an impressive 7-0 run and then finished the season on a 3-5 skid, failing to cover it's last six games. The Eagles are No.311 in defensive rebounding which accounts for a lot of their problems. The Johnnies constant pressure creates turnovers 22% of the time and the Storm is 7-2 ATS L9. Big East home faves of four our less are just 5-9 ATS which doesn't breed much confidence for a play on Marquette. St John's straight up. |
|||||||
03-05-22 | Warriors -6 v. Lakers | 116-124 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SATURDAY NIGHT NBA PLAY OF THE DAY winner is the Golden State Warriors Golden State is just 3-7 L10 and has pretty much been a ticket burner since the start of the year. The Warriors are eight games back of Phoenix at this point so top seed in the West is not an option but .... Memphis, Utah and Dallas are all playing very well and the Warriors will need to nip this current malaise in the bud before they play themselves out of a first round home court. The Lakers are a train wreck and will be life and death to reach the post season. The Lakers are 1-7 L8 and are now a full EIGHT GAMES below .500 and have the Pelican breathing down their throat for the 10 hole in the West with the second toughest schedule in the NBA the rest of the way. Regarding tonight, certainly like Golden State to have a better chance of figuring it out here. |

03-05-22 | Miami-FL +2 v. Syracuse | 75-72 | Win | 100 | 15 h 44 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SAT EARLY 3-GAME NCAAB POWER PACK winner is on the Miami Hurricanes Jim Boeheim says he'll be back for his 47th year next year despite a 15-15 mark to this point this year and losing his top three players including both his sons. The Orange would need to win here and win the ACC tournament to a likely NIT big which is not yet guaranteed. They face a Miami team that is playing for a top-four spot and byes in the ACC and plays great on the road where they are 9-2 in conference including a win at Duke. Orange will have to figure it out next week. Miami straight up. |
|||||||
03-05-22 | Quinnipiac v. Iona -13 | 61-79 | Win | 100 | 14 h 57 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SAT EARLY 3-GAME NCAAB POWER PACK winner is on the Iona Gaels Iona won the MAAC regular season by three games bit was far from dominant. The Gaels need no style points and as this conference will not get two bids, it's this easy. Iona must win the tourney to Dance in two weeks. These teams met once in early January with the Petino's winning at the Quinn by 16. The problem with laying this type number is that the starters won't play major minutes and margin is not a concern. The positive is that the Bobcats are No.289 in Division I defense so the Gaels should have little trouble putting the ball in the hole. Iona looks sharp but not too sharp. Call this one Iona 80-59. |

03-05-22 | UL - Lafayette v. Texas State -5 | 79-72 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 4 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SAT EARLY 3-GAME NCAAB POWER PACK winner is on the Texas State Bobcats This is a neutral sit game with the Sunbelt tournament being played in Pensacola. Texas State rampaged through the Sunbelt regular season winning the regular season by three games and sweeping the season series with the Cajuns. Louisiana is what it is, .500 home-away-across the board. The Cats have won nine straight and have not lost in January 27th. They beat ULL by nine three weeks ago and that's about the margin we figure t see here. |
|||||||
03-04-22 | Knicks v. Suns -6.5 | 114-115 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRIDAY NIGHT NBA SLA DUNK winner is on the Phoenix Suns The Knicks have lost six straight and as if their season couldn't get any worse, they lost four straight where they've held a 15-point or better lead. The 50-12 Suns haven't really missed a beat without Chris Paul. Phoenix is 8-2 L10 and Devin Booker has upped his production Old habits are hard to break. The Knicks might hang around to the half but in the end the Suns win by a routine 15-20. |

03-04-22 | Loyola Marymount v. BYU -11.5 | 60-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
DMACK'S FRI NIGHT COLLEGE HOOPS BAILOUT SPECIAL winner in on the BYU Cougars Loyola is 2-10 L12 with their only wins coming against Pacific. The Lions pnly played seven last night with all playing between 22-30 minutes. BYU has won four of five after dropping five straight. The Cougars are the 20th best defensive rebounding team in the country so it will be one and done for Loyola who will need to shoot the lights out. BYU has won seven straight in the series and swept both games this year winning by 1 and 20. BYU is going to need three wins with style points and then be competitive vs. Gonzaga in the conference final to even get a sniff as an at large team and it all starts here. |

03-04-22 | Illinois State v. Northern Iowa -7.5 | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
DMACK'S COLLEGE HOOPS MATINEE MAYHEM winner is on the Northern Iowa Panthers Illinois State returns on less than 24 hours turnaround after life and death win over Indiana State late last night. Nobody on the Redbirds played more than 30 minutes but Ill State is one of the worst repounding teams in the country and their legs will be a concern against the fresh as a daisy Panthers. Northern Iowa has won nine of eleven, covered seven of nine, and swept the season series winning by 15 and 2. See the Panthers rolling here. |

DMACK'S THURSDAY NCAAB 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the San Diego State Aztecs Typical Aztecs who have rounded into form when it counts and plays the great defense. SDSU has won seven of eight and have covered five straight. The Aztecs have won five straight in the series including a 61-44 waxing on February 19th. If the Aztecs shoot the ball have way decent and score 60 points, they win and cover this game easily. San Diego State 65-51. |

03-03-22 | Evansville v. Valparaiso -5.5 | 59-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURSDAY NCAAB 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on Valpo Really like bot Missouri Valley games tonight. Evansville has lost seven straight and just six teams in Division I play worse defense than the Purple Aces. Valpo is not much but their two wins in their last seven were both against Evansville. The teams played a B2B Feb 19-21 with Valpo winning by 16 in the first game and 5 in the second in game they led by double-digits with five minutes left. Valpo has won five of seven in the series and there is no reason to think they won't take care of business here. |

DMACK'S THURS NBA 3-GAME POWER PACK WINNER is on the San Antonio Spurs The Spurs are not much but Pop has them playing hard EVERY night and they are formidable against their own kind. Five back, loss at Chicago. Four and three back, road wins over OKC and Washington. Two back, loss at Miami and last, a loss at white-hot Memphis. Sacramento is 1-4 last five with a win at Oklahoma City and lost last night to the Pelicans by 30 as our NBA Play of the Day. Nuff said. |

DMACK'S THURSDAY NCAAB 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Arizona State Sun Devils Arizona State is 5-1 SU and ATS L6 and Hurley has his team rolling. The Sun Devils will also be very cognizant of the 74-50 spanking that Cal gave them on January 2. The Bears are 3-12 L15 and figure to be entering a hornets nest here with a team that is No.266 in FG% in Division One. Arizona State wins by double-digits. |

DMACK'S THURSDAY NCAAB 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Illinois State Redbirds This is a MVC tourney game in St. Louis. Two teams with similar records, (11-19, 12-19) that split during the regular season. Here's the difference. Illinois State has already fired their coach who will finish the year and has his players have circled the wagons as best they could for him. Indiana State has lost six straight and is 3-13 L16. The Sycs are 2-8 L10 ATS. Illinois State has covered four straight and beat Indiana State 86-66 on Saturday. |

03-02-22 | Wyoming +1.5 v. UNLV | 57-64 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WYOMING/UNLV MOUNTAIN WEST BAIL OUT SPECIAL winner is on Wyoming You can't say enough about the job Kevin Kruger has done with the Rebels but at the end of the day, UNLV is a one-man gang offensively. Tonight, the Wyoming Cowboys (23-6, 12-4) come to town and having lost three of five after a 21-3 start. Unbelievably, Wyoming has lost 18 straight series games on this floor so they can get back on track and get a big monkey off their back with a win here. Wyoming has a strong inside game hitting a tic under 56% inside the arc. A win here would go a long way to strengthen the Cowboys for an at large big if they were not to win the Mountain West tournament. Wyoming 72-65. |

The Eagles have there moments from time to time bit overall, this is a bottom four ACC team. Miami has been good all year, especially on the the rod where the Canes are 10-2 in true road games, 6-2 in true ACC road games with wins at Duke, Wake, and Clemson. Miami plays an inordinate amount of close games but the key here is much more than not, Miami wins. Four points s ver reasonable here and Miami still has all important ACC tournament seeding at stake. Miami wins this by double-digits, call it, 70-59. |

03-02-22 | Kings v. Pelicans -6 | 95-125 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the New Orleans Pelicans The Kings blew up their roster at the trade deadline but it hasn't seemed to help much in the short term. Sactown snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over OKC, a moral victory at the best. The Pelicans are playing as a well as they have all year and there last five games have been VERY impressive. Five back was a 30-point win over Toronto, followed by two three-point losses to raging Memphis and Dallas ... no shame there. There last two games were a 15-point win AT Phoenix and a 28-point win AT the Lakers. New Orleans is two games back of a wildcard game and have the Lakers and Clippers in there sights. To get to the post-season, you must win games like this. New Orleans 115-94. |

DMACK'S AMERICA EAST GAME OF THE YEAR winner is the Stony Brook Seawolves NJIT has thrown in the towel. The Highlanders have lost four of five with three of the losses by 21-28-16. Stony Brook is not all that much but the Seawolves are VERY good at home and are in a revenge spot here having lost 65-62 in Newark. This is the last stand at home for Stony Brook who is 12-4 at Island Federal Credit Union Arena and figures to blow out NJIT before heading to Tournament play on the 6th. Stony Brook 77-61. |

02-28-22 | Baylor v. Texas | 68-61 | Win | 100 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BAYLOR/TEXAS BIG 12 MON SUPER PLAY is on the Baylor Bears Both teams are playing well and both teams are locked in with tickets to The Dance. The Bears are 5-1 L6 and the Longhorns 8-3 L11 but one of those losses was an 80-63 spankling by Baylor just three weeks ago. Baylor has won the last games in the series and also their last two visits to Austin by 7 and 14 points. Baylor is a tough matchup for anyone but an especially bad matchup for Texas. |

02-28-22 | Pacers +1.5 v. Magic | 103-119 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 9 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK NBA PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Indiana Pacers Indiana saw the writing on the wall and blew it all up early and with some pretty good results. The Pacers have gone from a team that you could pencil in the loss with nightly to a group of good young talented players that seem to enjoy playing together. Indiana has split four games losing to Milwaukee and in a 2X overtime game. They beat the Wiz and absolutely dismantled Boston last night. IMO, seeing "buy" signs on the Pacers the rest of the way. No analysis needed on Orlando, the worst team in the NBA. Indiana 118-107. |

02-27-22 | Wichita State v. Memphis -9 | 57-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
DMACK'S ACC NCAAB GAME OF THE WEEK winner is the Memphis Tigers These are two teams heading in opposite directions. The Shockers have lost three of four and have NOT covered any of their last three road games. Today they roll into Memphis to face a Tiger team that has won seven of eight and covered six of seven. The Tigers biggest problem is turning the ball over which is primarily because Penny goes 8-10 deep in his rotation. Now, with 25 games under their belts and hitting on all cylinders, Memphis is playing it's best ball of the year. Memphis spanked Wichita 82-64 on the Shockers home court knocking down 64% of its shots inside the arc. Memphis gets a second helping here today. |

02-27-22 | 76ers -8 v. Knicks | 125-109 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUNDAY DRIVE NOTHING BUT NET winner is the Philadelphia 76ers The 76ers blew out Minnesota 133-102 in James Harden's debut and it comes just in time for Philly to develop some chemistry and make a serious run at winning the Eastern Conference. The Knicks will miss the playoffs again after a great season last year and it remains to be seen if they will blow this team up at the March 10 trade deadline. Four straight losses and 2-8 L10. The Knicks are playing out the string and Tibs probably deserves better. |

02-26-22 | Boise State -1 v. UNLV | 86-76 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BOISE STATE/UNLV MOUNTAIN WEST SUPER PLAY The Broncos are the best in the Mountain West and at 13-2, pretty much have a stranglehold on the top seed for the Mountain West tournament. The Broncos are 4-1 L5 with a loss at Colorado State and includes an 8-point win over UNLV two weeks ago. The Rebels are on the improve and you can't say enough about the jobs that Kevin Kruger has done but the homies are not ready for to punk this verteran Boise State outfit, even on their home court. |

02-25-22 | Appalachian State +2.5 v. Arkansas State | 60-62 | Win | 100 | 14 h 45 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUNBELT CONFERENCE GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Appalachian State Mountaineers Arkansas State is 16-10 (7-7) and watching it's season circle the drain fast. The Red Wolves are just 3-6 L9 and 1-5 ATS L6, turn the ball over (306 of 358) and all this against the 262nd toughest schedule in the country. App State 18-12 (12-5) is playing well as they try to run down Texas State for the one-seed. The Mounties approach is simple, they have a veteran team that plays most of the way just walking the ball up. The team is bottom 20 (of 358) in Div-I bench minutes but you get a discipled team that doesn't make mistakes which is good against this kind. App State won the first go around in Boone 71-64 and win straight up here by 6-8. |

02-25-22 | Raptors -2.5 v. Hornets | 93-125 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA FRI PLAY OF THE DAY winner is on the Toronto Raptors Charlotte is in a world of hurt. They've lost three straight and they've won once in ten games and that was against the 14-45 Pistons. Gordon Heyward is expected out another two weeks and Charlotte will be short in the front court with two of their bigs game time decisions. Toronto was sorry to see the All-Star game break as the Raptors were on an 8-2 run and playing great. The Barney's get balanced scoring (four players averaging 17+), play great defense (6th), and rebound well. All the things you need to do well to win. Fred VanVleet is a star but is a game time decision. All indications are that he is a go. |

02-24-22 | Gonzaga -9.5 v. San Francisco | 89-73 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WCC GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs The Zags have won 16 straight and as usual, walking through the WCC. The Zags are No.1 in the country in offense at 93.8 ppg., shoot 61% from inside the arc, and their margin of victory is 27 ppg. San Francisco has a good team that is one of the few teams in the country that can match up in size with the Zags. That said, they've been a bully that hasn't performed against the better teams. The Dons don't shoot well but have snagged 31% of their misses with their bug front court. In the end, the Zags will impose its will and win as they please. It might be close at the half but when it counts, lets call it 80-60. |

02-24-22 | Hawks v. Bulls -4 | 108-112 | Push | 0 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
DMACK'S THURS NBA SLAM DUNK winner is on the Chicago Bulls The Hawks are still below .500 and treading water, especially on the road where they routinely lose by double-digits. The Bulls have not been 100% all year and are still tied for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Billy Donovan should be Coach of the Year with his next man up lineups that do nothing but win. The bulls were sorry to see the break as they were on a five game win streak with wins by 7-11-5-12-12. Tough to say how teams will fare after 10 days off but gimme a team that finds ways to win over a team that finds ways to lose. Chicago 124-111. |

02-24-22 | South Dakota State -3 v. Oral Roberts | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SDSU/ORAL ROBERTS SUPER PLAY winner is on the South Dakota State Jackrabbits The Jackrabbits are 16-0 in conference including an 82-76 home win over Oral Roberts. SDSU is the best perimeter shooting team in the country knocking down 44.1% of their threes. The Jacks have covered four of their last five road games and it looks like their knockdown shooters travel. Oral Bob is 11-3 in its L14 and is also an excellent shooting perimeter team. That said, the Golden Eagles are simply a notch below State as evidenced by their home loss to Western Illinois and a 20-point road loss at North Dakota State. South Dakota State is the Summit League Game of the Year winner, call it 83-70. |

02-23-22 | Wyoming +6.5 v. Colorado State | 55-61 | Win | 100 | 18 h 20 m | Show | |
DMACK'S WEDS NCAAB BAIL OUT SPECIAL winner is on the Wyoming Cowboys Wyoming has won 13 of 15 games including an 84-78 OT win over Colorado State on Jan 31st. The Cowboys are No.7 in the country in points in the paint and have the size and big people to do it. Colorado State has won five of six but Mountain West home faves of six or less are just 8-14 this year and this is just too many points to lay to a team that struggles to defend what Wyoming does best. Wyoming has a big shot to win this straight up at +220 or better. |

02-23-22 | Syracuse +5.5 v. Notre Dame | 69-79 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 14 m | Show | |
DMACK WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 3-POWER PACK winner is on the Syracuse Orangemen The Orangemen have won six of seven to get back into the March Madness hunt and history has shown when Boeheim gets in The Dance, anything can happen. Syracuse success has come with a return of their outside touch and the Cuse is now hitting 38% of it's treys, No.14 in the nation. Notre Dame is playing well but ACC home favorites of 5 or less are just 11-26 and this is the type of game could be determined on the final possession. |

02-23-22 | Campbell -6.5 v. Hampton | 66-68 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
DMACK WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 3-POWER PACK winner is on the Campbell Camels Campbell is a pretty good team in the Big South that just hasn't been able to get by the conference heavyweights. That said, the Camels have a strong and consistent MO of crushing the bottom of the conference. They beat Hampton 75-60 the first time through an despite being 5-7 on the road have won their last two road games against teams with better conference records than what they see tonight. Campbell by 12-15. |

02-23-22 | Wake Forest -2.5 v. Clemson | 69-80 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
DMACK WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 3-POWER PACK winner is on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons The 21-7 Deacs are VERY GOOD and getting better. Wake is know primarily for their excellent home play but on their last three road games, the Deacs crushed NC State and Florida State and lost 76-74 at Duke. This team can play and is getting better. Clemson has lost five straight and at 12-15, the Tigers are close to playing themselves out of the post-season. This is the only regular season this year and the Deacs roll. Wake 78-63. |

02-22-22 | Villanova +2.5 v. Connecticut | 69-71 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG EAST GAME OF THE WEEK winner is on the Villanova Wildcats The Wildcats have won 14 of 16 games and are hitting their mark at just the right time. Nova struggled somewhat early because of lack of experience and depth. The Cats are No.1 in conference shooting percentage inside the arc and beat UConn 85-74 on their home floor back in January. Big East home teams are 5-11 when favored by three of less. Nova gets the money here. |

02-22-22 | Toledo -12.5 v. Western Michigan | 92-50 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MID-MAJOR BULLY BEAT DOWN winner is on the Toledo Rockets At 6-21, you don't need me to tell you that Western Michigan is not very good. The Broncos chief problem is that they don't score much and are in fact No.306 in Division I in scoring. They're also No.321 in scoring defense which isn't conducive to success against a team that averages 81 ppg, and is 16th in Div-I in scoring. The 21-6 (13-3) Rockets have been pounding MAC bottom feeders and this about as bottom as it gets. BTW, Dec 29th final was Toledo 83 Western Michigan 56. Right back. |

02-21-22 | Indiana v. Ohio State -6 | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG TEN GAME OF THE WEEK winner is the Ohio State Buckeyes The Hoosiers have lost four straight averaging just 59.5 ppg. during that run. Indiana is also just 1-6 on the Big Ten highway and they are going to have a tough go of it here. Oho State has split their last six but should be razor sharp here. Not someone that puts a whol lot of credence in college basketball revenge bot one of Indiana's lone bright spots this year was beating the Buckeyes 67-51 in Bloomington and closing the game out on a 21-6 run. Ohio State will make things right tonight. |

02-20-22 | Mississippi State -4.5 v. Missouri | 58-56 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUNDAY COLLEGE HOOPS BAIL OUT SPECIAL is on the Mississippi State Bulldogs Mississippi State is 2-6 in its L8 and Missouri 2-5 L7 so the SEC is not waiting with bated breath for the result of this one. Things are reported getting a bit hot for Ben Howland who has not been able to follow up his early success with the Bulldogs. He does have some players and Miss State rebounds 32% of its misses. Cuonzo Martin is 76-72 in five years at the Mo and has made the dance twice so it would appear that he's safe with an off year and a team that looks like it has quit. SEC home faves of five or less are just 4-8 and this is a quick turnaround game that that Miss State throttle the Tigers 68-49 in Starkville. |
|||||||
02-20-22 | Marquette v. Creighton -1.5 | 82-83 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUN COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner in the Creighton Blue Jays Shaka Smart's early magic with his young kids has worn off as Marquette has faded to a middle of the pack Big East team. The Eagles are an awful rebounding team and that's not a great attribute against Creighton snipers. The Blue Jays have won four straight while giving up just 58 ppg. Creighton blew a 17-point second half lead at Marquette in the first meeting before going on to win by five in 2 OTs. Gonna but road team conference and series success in favor of well coached Creighton taking care of business. |

02-20-22 | IUPU Ft Wayne -4 v. Wisc-Milwaukee | 81-71 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUN COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner in the IPFW Mastodons Milwaukee is just a bad bad team. The 9-19 Panthers are No.289 in offense and No.209 on defense and have lost two of their last four Horizon League home games by 17 and 36 points. Fort Wayne is playing their best ball of the year winning six straight and routinely dispatched Milwaukee 70-60 on their home court in early January. Just two teams heading in opposite directions on the form chart and see no reason for a deviation here. |
|||||||
02-20-22 | Wright State -1 v. Detroit | 75-80 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
DMACK'S SUN COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner in the Wright State Raiders Detroit has split their last six games but Wright State is not a good matchup for the run-and-gun Titans. A whopping 49% of Detroit's offensive shots are threes and Wright State plays pretty good defense against its own kind. In fact, Wright State waxed Detroit 90-57 two weeks ago and have also won nine of ten in the series. The Raiders do their damage in close and Detroit hasn't offered much resistance. Wright State by 10+. |

02-19-22 | Kansas -4.5 v. West Virginia | 71-58 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack's College Hoops Kick Me While I'm Down winner is on the Kansas Jayhawks. It's tough to watch West Virginia these days as Huggie Bear as always been one of our favorite coaches. The Mounties have lost nine of ten, can't shoot, don't play West Virginia style defense and just seem to get run out of most buildings. Kansas is 10-2 L12, 10-2 L12 in this series but just 2-5 in L7 trips to Morgantown. Kansas won 84-59 in Lawrence in January and will likely win by 20 here. Kick 'em while they're up, kick 'em while they're they're down. Kansas 81-63. |

02-19-22 | Kennesaw State v. Jacksonville -5.5 | 56-59 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's Mid-Major Can of Whup Ass winner is on the Jacksonville Dolphins Again, don't confuse this Jacksonville with the others that are out there. We used the Dolphins against Stetson on Thursday and came away with a 20-point road win. Jax is white hot now and is a perfect 12-0 at home this year. Best yet is that Kennesaw is just 3-9 on the road and this is a revenge game for the homies who lost the the Owls on the road Jan 24, one of just two Jax losses in 10 games. The Dolphins put the hammer down here, call it 81-66. |

02-19-22 | Auburn -3.5 v. Florida | 62-63 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday College Bully Beatdown winner is on the Auburn Tigers Auburn's interior defense is not all that great but they do so many things well that they are 24-2 against the 27th toughest schedule in the nation and both their losses are in overtime. The Gators have lost two straight coring 55 and 57 and are 0-5 ATS in their L5 games. SEC home dogs of five or less are 4-8 this year and Auburn cruised by 13 the first time these two met. Auburn 74-56 |

02-18-22 | Maryland -1.5 v. Nebraska | 90-74 | Win | 100 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday 3-Game College Hoops Power Pack winner in on Maryland Terps The Huskers are a train wreck at 1-13 in conference. Granted the Huskers are 6-2 ATS in Lincoln home games but that's with the other visitors paying a Nebraska tax. Maryland is 3-11 in Big Ten play but the Terps have been competitive on most nights and will be much improved next year. No tax on the Turtle who are being asked just to win and they've owned the Huskers winning five of the last six and going 3-1 on this floor. Maryland by 10. |
|||||||
02-18-22 | Rider +7.5 v. Monmouth | 58-60 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday 3-Game College Hoops Power Pack winner in on Rider Broncos Monmouth has been a ticket burner all year and have split last six games despite rocking the 15th most experienced team in the country at the start of the season. The Hawk are knocking don just 23% of their threes, 12th out of 12 in the MAAC. Rider has won four of five and a healthy 6-1 ATS in seven conference away games. The Broncos aren't prolific shooters either but play excellent defense and we're taking 7.5 in game likely to fall in mid-50s or low-60s. MAAC home faves of 7+ are 5-10 and Monmouth has contributed 2-4 of that. Rider. |
|||||||
02-18-22 | Marist v. Siena -1 | 62-53 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday 3-Game College Hoops Power Pack winner in on Siena Saints Marist is playing it's best ball of the year which is good for us in regards to line value. The Foxes have won three straight averaging 77 ppg. but are up against it here against a better Siena team. Siena won 67-60 at Marist January 14 trailing 50-33 with 12 minutes to play. You can pull that off when you are second in the conference in defense. Siena is 7-1 L8 in the series and 7-0 is the series over the L7 played on this floor. Basically just asking Siena to win .... they will. |

02-17-22 | Creighton +3.5 v. DePaul | 71-59 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's Thurs NCAAB 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Creighton Blue Jays DePaul is much improved and extremely competitive this year in the Big East but the Blue Demons are still at the point where they just find ways to lose. They don't finish after fast starts and that's a killer all year. Creighton has won three straight and comes off their best offensive performance of the year where all five starters scored in double-digits. The Jays have had some injuries but help is on the way. Creighton dressed just nine in win over Butler in last so Jays will have to be somewhat economical here. Still would have thought Creighton -2 was proper lone but we'll grab points expecting to win straight up. |

02-17-22 | Red Wings v. Rangers -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack Thurs NHL 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Rangers Puck Line The Red Wings are a team on the rise and do some nice things BUT .... mainly on their home ice. Motown is a brutal 7-13-3 with suitcase and face a Ranger team that is 16-4-2 at home and rocking a NHL top-three goaltender in Igor Shesterkin who will get serious Vezina consideration down the road. Neither team is overly offensively gifted but more the Wings are for some reason challenged on the road defensively as evidenced by the 7-burger the Wild dropped on them 48 hours ago. Puck line is the way to go here. |
|||||||
02-17-22 | Wichita State v. Cincinnati -2.5 | 76-85 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's Thurs NCAAB 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Cincinnati Bearcats Not much separates these two from a metrics standpoint. That said, despite winning three of four, the Shockers are a ticket burning 5-10 ATS last 15 including a 61-57 (-3.5) loss to Cincinnati back on January 16th. Cincinnati with a big experience edge and less bench minutes. We'll lay small points with homestanding Bearcats. |

02-17-22 | North Texas -2 v. Florida Atlantic | 54-51 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's Thurs NCAAB 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the North Texas Mean Green FAU is 7-2 L9 and 6-0 ATS in CUSA home games. That said, the Owls perimeter defense is weak (No.330) and that won't cut it here against a Mean Green outfit that can light it up from outside and does (37.6%, No.27). North Texas has won 10 straight and is just walking through CUSA West. North Texas is 18-4 despite playing a schedule that is 100 places better in Div-I than the 15-10 Owls. North Texas 77-66. |

02-16-22 | Jazz -4.5 v. Lakers | 101-106 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
DMACK'S JAZZ/LAKERS ESPN SUPER PLAY winner is on the Utah Jazz The Lakers are just 2-8 L10, made no moves at the trade deadline, and are watching their season circle the drain. Tonight they face a Jazz outfit that has won six straight since getting Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert back to the fold. Granted, five of those games were on their home floor but when the Jazz were right earlier from October through the first of the year. Utah certainly has urgency to win games like these. The Jazz are five games back of Memphis for the third spot in the West and just 2-3 games ahead of surging Dallas and Denver for that final all important home court in the first round of the playoffs. Utah 116-104. |

02-16-22 | Purdue -5.5 v. Northwestern | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 16 h 11 m | Show | |
DMACK's WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Purdue Boilermakers Northwestern is a feisty bunch that has won three of four but just does not matchup well against the Boilers who seemingly turn it on with big conference second halves every year. Purdue has won ten straight in the series and though some of the games here have been close, Purdue just checks all the boxes. The Boilers won at Lafayette by 20 and averaged 1.33 points per possession in that one. Boilers roll. |

02-16-22 | SMU -4 v. Temple | 57-64 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 26 m | Show | |
DMACK's WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the SMU Mustangs SMU might be one of the best teams you haven't seen or much heard about. Tim Jankovich's bunch is very talented and well coached an now sits tied with Houston on top of the AAC. Temple is a good team but that's it and that was pointed out in the first meeting between these two when the Stangs won at home in Moody's Gym 69-61. The final is very misleading however as SMU was up big the entire way before the Owls had a run in garbage time. SMU is 6-3 on the road and missing two starters in last road game, beat an East Carolina team that 80-66 on their home floor where they had previously been 9-3. SMU gets the money. |

02-16-22 | Georgetown v. Marquette -12 | 66-77 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
DMACK's WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 3-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Marquette Golden Eagles Hate to see Patrick Ewing going through this but the 0-13 in the Big East Hoyas are just awful and there is no immediate fix. Marquette has struggled a bit of late against the Big East heavies after a great first half but G-Town is just the slumpbuster you need to restore confidence and right the ship. Marquette won the first round at home 92-64 on January 17th and there seems no reason for Shaka Smart to take his foot off the pedal here. Marquette 80-60. |

02-16-22 | Illinois v. Rutgers +4.5 | 59-70 | Win | 100 | 14 h 13 m | Show | |
DMACK's WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Both teams are 5-1 last six but Illinois is still battling injuries and seems to be doing it with smoke and mirrors more often than not. The Scarlet Knights have been riding Ron Harper Jr. and are playing their best ball of the year. Rutgers record is a bit deceiving as they've played the ninth toughest schedule in the country to this point. The Knights are 6-1 ATS on their home floor, battle tested, and have a big shot to win straight up. |
|||||||
02-16-22 | Jacksonville -2 v. Stetson | 67-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
DMACK's WEDS COLLEGE HOOPS 5-GAME POWER PACK winner is on the Jacksonville Dolphins The likeable Hatters have their moments but in the grand scheme of things, they're a bottom half Atlantic Sun team that generally doesn't fare well against better teams or even the to half of the Sun. The Jacksonville Dolphins (don't confuse with the other Jax teams) are 16-8 by virtue of a 12-0 home court but the Dolphins are on current 5-1 run now against this kind and beat Stetson 58-50 at home in January the first time around. The Dolphins play elite defense for team like this and that keeps them in every game. It won't be pretty or a start to finish spanking but ultimately another eight point win works here. |

02-15-22 | Cavs -1.5 v. Hawks | 116-124 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Tuesday Rim Rocker is on the Cleveland Cavaliers The Hawks have lost four of five after winning seven straight and looks more and more like this team has basically thrown in the towel on 2021-22. Cold-lanta blew a 20-point lead at Boston in most recent and lost by double-digits. The Cavs saw four-game win streak snapped in most recent, a loss at Phialdelphia, no shame there. The Cavs are still just two games out of the top seed in the East and have the components to do it. Cleveladn even gets leading scorer and PG Garland back in the fold so it's take care of business against the teams they have to beat. Cleveland 108-95. |

02-15-22 | Texas -1 v. Oklahoma | 80-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Big 12 Conference Game of the Week winner in on the Texas Longhorns Two teams headed in opposite directions. The Longhorns have won five of seven and are just starting to round into the type of form we've expected. The team is just starting to buy into Chris Beard's schemes and figures to be getting better every game down the line. Hugely talented. Oklahoma has lost eight of ten and only 20 teams out of 358 in Div-I turn it over more than the Sooners. Texas won by 13 at Austin and has won their last two trips to this building. Texas 70-58. |

02-14-22 | Magic v. Nuggets -11 | 111-121 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack's Monday Night NBA Slam Dunk winner is on the Denver Nuggets Don't generally like laying double-digits with an in-and-out team like the Nuggets but willing to play Denver here against a bad bad Orlando Magic outfit. In fact, the Magic are 1-4 L5 sandwiching 27-15-33-20 point losses around a win over a shorthanded Portland team that had just traded C.J. McCollom. The Nugs are a lot better than their record indicates as they've battled injuries and covid all year and are yet to put best forward. Recent form says and play from the Joker says they are getting close. |

02-14-22 | Southern Utah +1.5 v. Northern Colorado | 95-100 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG SKY CONFERENCE GAME OF THE MONTH winner is on the Southern Utah Thunderbirds Wrong team favored here. Can't tell you what a great job Todd Simon (ex-UNLV) has done resurrecting this program. The T-Birds have won 14 of 18 and face a Northern Colorado team that just 1-4-1 in their conference home games. The Bears are a run and gu outfit playing a team that can get up and down itself and are the No.18 best team in the nation on the defensive boards. Add to the mix that Big Sky homies favored by three or less are just 5-9 and that Southern Utah can get a monkey off it's back here and we'll roll with a very live dog here. |

DMACK'S HAWKS/CELTICS SUPER BOWL RIM ROCKER The Hawks seemed like they were putting a run together to get back in the playoff hunt but have lost three of four and are just 1-6 L7 on the road. The Celtics are playing their best ball of the year, 9-1 L10 and winners of seven straight. Made some moves at the trade deadline to strengthen their backcourt and help them down the line. Tatum and Brown are both healthy and both balllin' and the team as a whole is finally healthy. Six is a very reasonable ask and the Celts get it done here. |

02-12-22 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga -15.5 | 58-74 | Win | 100 | 16 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's West Coast Conference Game of the Month winner is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs Good game, St Mary's 8-1 L9 and the Zags have won 13 straight. That said, it's same 'ole, same 'ole in the West Coast Conference with Gonzaga blowing everyone on (7-0-2 ATS L9) laying the big big points so even paying the Zag tax, you've made money betting Gonzaga. St Mary's primary strength is rebounding but they meet a bigger and more physical team today on the road. St Mary's has lost their last three visits to this gym by 48, 10, and 22 and the Gaels are just 2-13 L15 in the series. First meeting this year and the Zags put the hammer down. |

DMack's Super Saturday NBA Play of the Day is on the Dallas Mavs This is a rare home court back-to-back between the Mavs and the Clippers. Dallas beat the Clippers 112-105 48 hours ago on this floor and this is a makeup for a previous postponement. Luka went for 51 on Thursday and Dallas had the game pretty much in hand the entire way, leading by double-digits until the end after taking their foot off the gas pedal. Jason Kidd won't let that happen here as the 20-10 at home Mavs have won four straight and are just two games out of a first round home court in the playoffs Dallas 116-104. |

02-12-22 | Arkansas +5.5 v. Alabama | 67-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's Super Saturday College Hoops First Blood winner is the Arkansas Razorbacks Two teams in in opposite form. Bama is 2-3 in L5 and 2-8 ATS L10. Arkansas has won nine straight game and that includes an overtime win over No.1 Auburn during the week. Both teams shoot the ball well but the Razors as much better on the defensive end and on the boards and that will be the difference. Supremely coached by Eric Musselman who will make it crystal clear that a loss here would undo all the good work done over the last 30 days. Five and a half juicy points in a game Arkansas will win straight up. |

02-11-22 | Cavs -6.5 v. Pacers | 120-113 | Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show | |
DMACK'S NBA PLAY OF THE DAY is on the Cleveland Cavaliers We thought that the Pacers might blow the whole thing up before the trade deadline and they did, trading Sabonis and LeVert and not getting a whole lot of immediate gratification in return. The Cavs were the beneficiaries of getting Caris LeVert to sure up an already strong albeit young back court. Don't look now but the Cavs are on game back from the number one seed in the East and young, deep, and complete. 7-3 L10 and as a rule, don't lose games like these, even on the road. Lay it. |

02-11-22 | Rider +8.5 v. St. Peter's | 58-49 | Win | 100 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
DMACK'S MAAC CONF GAME OF THE MONTH winner is the Rider Broncos Not much separates these two teams, certainly not 8.5 points worth. This not a fade of St Peters by any means as the Peacocks have won eight of ten and have a very deep bench. That said, Rider is a veteran outfit that has won four of five, is 5-1 ATS as a MAAC road dog, and is in revenge spot having lost 57-51 to St Pete back in early January when the Broncos shot just 31% for the game. Looking for Rider to play it's best game of the year here and possibly take St Pete down straight up. |

02-10-22 | Clippers v. Mavs -6 | 105-112 | Win | 100 | 17 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack's Thurs Night NBA Slam Dunk winner is on the Dallas Mavs The Clipper will be improved after deal with Portland but will need to work Powell into the lineup. The Mavs are arguably playing their best ball this year and starting to defend their home floor. Luka will be able to do what he wants here and that just makes the rest of the Mavs better. Porzingis likely out another game but no problem. Dallas by 12-15. |

02-10-22 | Texas State +1.5 v. UL - Lafayette | 82-73 | Win | 100 | 16 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack Thurs College Hoop Power Pack winner is on the Texas State The Ragin Cajuns are not much and have lost six of eight overall and three of four at home. Texas State is a veteran bunch with a ton of experience that shoots the ball well and is second in conference from beyond the arc. The Cats pressure a Cajun team that turns it over a tic under one of every four possessions. Texas State straight up by 8-10. |
|||||||
02-10-22 | Hofstra +1.5 v. Drexel | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 15 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack Thurs College Hoop Power Pack winner is on the Hofstra Pride Hofstra is playing its best basketball of the year and has to be supremely confident here off hard fought win against a very good Wilmington team that has won 14 of 15 coming in. The Pride has split six conf road games but looking for a a big effort here. Hofstra won 71-68 at home first time around hence line value. The Pride has won nine straight in the series and can't stress enough Hofstra in excellent form. |

02-10-22 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. IUPU Ft Wayne -19.5 | 57-72 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack Thurs College Hoop Power Pack winner is on the Fort Wayne Mastodons IUPUI is a train wreck, so much so that they had an open call in their intramural leagues looking for anyone as the Jaguars are short of players. Fort Wayne is middle of the road Horizon but very good at home. In fact, the Mastodons last four conference home wins have been by double-digits, two by 20+. No reason for Fort Wayne to take their foot off the pedal here. |

02-09-22 | Raptors -9.5 v. Thunder | 117-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's Weds Night NBA Rim Rocker winner is on the Toronto Raptors The Thunder don't have a lot of talent under the best of circumstances and now OKC is riddled with injuries including its best player, Shae Gilgeous-Alexander. Toronto is heading in the opposite direction winning six straight and are well positioned to dial into first round home-court in the playoffs. The Barney's have the players to shoot the lights out and Fred VanVleet has emerged as a top floor general. This is a team on the uptick ... follow. |
|||||||
02-09-22 | Missouri State +3 v. Drake | 66-62 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack's Weds Night College Hoops Dog Bite winner is on the Missouri State Bears Very little separates these two who are locked in the 3-4 spots in the Missouri Valley Conference. Drake has been doing it with smoke and mirrors. The Bulldogs have played a number of close games including three of their last five in overtime. Missouri State is battle tested having played the No.6 toughest schedule in the country and the Bears can put it in the hole with the No.21 best field goal percentage in Div-I. Mo State won the first go around by six in Springfield and travel well. Expect a close defensive game in the 50s or low 60s with Missouri State winning straight up. |

02-08-22 | Bucks -4.5 v. Lakers | 131-116 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
DMACK's NBA BUCKS/LAKERS LATE SHOW BAILOUT winner is on the Milwaukee Bucks The Lakers have Lebron back but are still looking to work something out prior to the trade deadline. The Lakers as currently configured will be life and death to even make the playoffs and if they do, figure to be an early out with Lebron and Anthony Davis spent shells just to get to the dance. Don't look now but after a 40-game championship hangover, the Bucks are a game out of the one-seed in the East and just starting to round into form. Milwaukee has won three straight and is 7-3 L10. The Bucks last three wins are by 24-29-15 ... Fear the Deer. Milwaukee 122-103 |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Ohio v. Toledo -3 | 62-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's Weds College Hoops 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Toledo Rockets The Ohio Bobcats are a good team but their 19-3 record is a bit misleading as they've played the 306th toughest schedule in Div-I. Ohio is 14-1 in its L15 games with the only loss by 18 at home to TOLEDO! The run-and-gun Rockets are a tough matchup for anyone in the MAC as evidenced by their 5-0 ATS home record. Toledo by 8-10. |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Auburn -2 v. Arkansas | 76-80 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack Weds 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Auburn Tigers Great SEC game featuring two very good teams and two elite college basketball coaches in Bruce Pearl and Eric Musselman. Arkansas is always right there but just hasn't found a way to win big games. Auburn is 22-1, has won nine straight to grab No.1, and got look ahead clunker out of the way against Georgia in most recent. Auburn 68-60. |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Lipscomb v. Liberty -14 | 69-78 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack Weds 3-Game Power Pack winner is on the Liberty Flames Liberty has walked through the A-Sun with the only blip on the screen a poor shooting night at Jacksonville State. The Flames crush people and five of their last six conference wins are bu double-digits. Lipscomb is just 2-10 on the road in all games this year and just don't figure at all here. Liberty 82-59. |
|||||||
02-07-22 | Knicks v. Jazz -7.5 | 104-113 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day winner is on the Utah Jazz The Knicks are in complete freefall losing eight of their last ten and are looking to blow it all up before Thursday's trade deadline. Not the best of spots either for the Knicks who are in game two of a five game West coast swing off an overtime loss to the Lakers with Denver and Golden State on deck. Utah has dropped to fourth in the West after a run of injuries and Covid. Rudy Gobert will likely be out here but linchpin Donovan Mitchell is back and close to 100%. The Jazz are off wins over the Nets and Denver and have had three days to get right for this tune up with Golden State on deck Weds. Utah 120-103. |

02-07-22 | Arizona -13 v. Arizona State | 91-79 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's Monday Pac12 Super Play winner is on the Arizona Wildcats Arizona is VERY VERY good and other than an early loss and a game at UCLA where the Cats couldn't hit water from the end of a dock, have beaten up just about everyone else. Down year for Arizona State and Bobby Hurley but the Sun Devils are off a triple-OT win over UCLA that will be the highlight of their season before facing their in-state rivals with a chip on their shoulders. Arizona State has the 14th WORST shooting team out of 358 and won't likely have legs in a game under any circumstances that they would have to be near perfect to have any chance to win. Arizona could and should win this by 20+. |
|||||||
02-07-22 | NC-Wilmington +7.5 v. Hofstra | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack's Colonial Conference Game of the Week winner is on NC Wilmington Two experienced team square off here in a rematch of a 78-69 UNCW win nine days ago. Hofstra led that game 22-7 early but the Seahawks wore the Pride down to pull away late. That's what Wilmington does and the Seahawks have won 13 of it's L14 games are is 12-3 in games decided by eight or less points. CAA home favorites of seven points or more are an incredible 0-14 this year showing the parity throughout the conference top to bottom. The 16-6 (10-1) Seahawks might merit being small dogs here to the 14-9 (6-4) Pride but not 7 1/2 point worth. A dog with a big shot to win straight up and get several monkeys off their back. |
|||||||
02-06-22 | Providence -6.5 v. Georgetown | 71-52 | Win | 100 | 3 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday College Hoops Big East Brunch winner is on the Providence Friars At 6-14 (0-9), Georgetown is sadly a train wreck for Patrick Ewing who will likely be an NBA assistant again by next fall. The Hoyas are winless since Dec 15th, are No.337 in the country in shooting percentage and just 1-3-1 ATS in the Big East as a home dog. Providence is probably the best team plays under-the-radar and it couldn't be happening for a better guy and excelent coach than Ed Cooley. The Friars are well rounded, very experienced, have won six straight and are 7-0 in Big East games decided by eight or less. Prov won the first go around 83-75 at home three weeks ago but a little defense and some attention to detail here would make the Friars 12-15 point winners. |

02-05-22 | Thunder +6.5 v. Kings | 103-113 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's Sat Night Night NBA Rim Rocker is on the OKC Thunder Both teams are Western Conference bottom feeders but they are also two teams headed in opposite directions. The Thunder to their credit have not quit and are even on a three-game win streak to get them to 18 wins. The Kings are 2-8 L10, had quit prior t Luke Walton being fired, and any player with a pulse is praying hard they'll be moved by the Feb 10th trade deadline. Not the greatest spot for OKC but knowing they'll play hard and at least six points is impossible to ignore. Take the Thunder. |

02-05-22 | Texas Tech -4.5 v. West Virginia | 60-53 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
DMACK'S BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR winner is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas Tech is 7-2 L9 and their last five conference wins are all by double-digits sandwiched around a double-overtime loss at Kansas. The Red Raiders jave lost three of four on the road but are starting to play great and present a terrible matchup for West Virginia whom they beat by 13 on January 22. This isn't your typical Huggie Mountaineer team and it show. The Mounties play NO defense and are No.350 in the country in defensive rebounding. Further, West Virginia doesn't take care of the ball and face a team that is No.13 in creating turnovers which they do on 23.7% of opponent possessions. Tech right back as a double-digit winner as the Big 12 game of the year. |
