DMack's Pac 12 Total of the Year is on Washington/Oregon State Over Both teams are up and down run and gunners that don't take care of their own defensive end. The Huskies have allowed 89.7 ppg in their last three road loses while the Beavers have allowed 80+ in their last six losses period. UWub 7-0 over in true road games, OSU 8-4 Over in true home games. Prior history means nothing here as both teams have completely turned over. This one flies Over.

04-02-14	Fresno State v. Siena UNDER 135	Top	89-75	Loss	-108	24 h 55 m	Show
DMack's Fresno State/Siena Game II Super Play is on the Under Tonight's total has been adjusted from Monday's Game I 139.5 but on face, not much has changed from our Game I analysis. The pace is going to be slow and deliberate and it is difficult to see how this matchup can get anywhere near tonight's 135. In Game I, Fresno State managed 57 points despite shooting 57% from the field from inside the arc. Siena stuck to its guns despite being down six at half and played solid defense (creating 16 turnovers) while grinding out a 61-57 win. This game will be played on campus in a 4000 person sold out gym so its likely Siena at home and up a game to boot will dictate the pace again. The Saints are on a run of eight straight unders, are 21-7 low for the year, 10-2 south when favored and a perfect 8-0 under in non-conference games and 7-0 under in tournament games. Looks like another game that figures to fall closer to 120 than the posted 135. Play the Under.
03-31-14	Siena v. Fresno State UNDER 139	Top	61-57	Win	100	75 h 3 m	Show
Top Play Siena/Fresno State Under Much like the UConn/Michigan State total (Under) that we used for our Elite Eight Game of the Year, the posted total is far to high for the teams involved. Siena is young and turns the ball over far too much (20.7%, #311) but has gotten by on playing rock solid defense. The Saints are on a run of seven straight under and 20-7 lowballs for the year. Obviously with that type of overall number, most of the techs will be reflective of that which is what we have here. These are all Siena numbers to the low .... 8-3 on the road, 8-0 vs. non conf, 7-0 when the total is 130-139.5 and on and on. They play a very deliberate Fresno State team that starts just one senior but runs a very regimented office that works lots of clock and the Bulldogs just don't turn it over. In fact, FSU is top ten in the country in protecting the ball. Fresno is 4-2 under in their L6 and that would be 5-1 low if not for a ridiculous steal and slam in the final five seconds of the Old Dom which changed the side and total. This is a best of three with the two games (if necessary) to be played in Albany. A trip to Purdue was Siena's only venture outside the Eastern time zone so we would expect them to be tentative here. The bottom line is that with anything but lights out shooting by both teams, there just won't be enough possessions for this game to get anywhere near tonight's 139. Play the Under.
03-30-14	Connecticut v. Michigan State UNDER 139.5	Top	60-54	Win	100	28 h 41 m	Show
DMack's Elite Eight Game of the Year is on UConn/Michigan State Under the Total UConn has made a nice run to this point but will be hard pressed to find a way to win other than taking the air out of the ball, playing great defense and having Napier shoot lights out. These two are not complete strangers as they opened up last year on an aircraft carrier in a game won by the Huskies 66-62, Napier lighting it up for 25. Michigan State shot terribly that day but hung in by dominating the glass which is likely to happen again this afternoon. By the same token, Sparty will look to shoot the three and they'll be facing a tough perimeter defense that has allowed their opponents just 37% or less from downtown in their last six games. A slower pace, lots of one and dones and probably minimal success from behind the arc is telling us the first one to 60 wins and this total flying UNDER this posted total.
03-28-14	Tennessee v. Michigan OVER 134	Top	71-73	Win	100	41 h 14 m	Show
DMack's Sweet 16 Total of the Year is Tennessee/Michigan Over Tennessee kind of reminds me of the Kemba Walker UConn team of a few years ago .... an extremely talented team that is now completely healthy and peaking at just the right time. The Vols have won eight of nine with the only loss an OT game to Florida that they led throughout. Michigan has nine of ten, the loss an inexplicable lay down to rival Mich State so not much interest in the side. Both teams play a deliberate pace but these are two of the more efficient offenses in the country. The Wolverine defense is average at best and the wide body UT players figure to have their way in the paint. Michigan on offense will play their in and out game kicking it to the perimeter where UMich knocks down better than 39% (#6 in NCAA) of its treys. We're going to see points in this one and with any knid of shooting day by Michigan ..... lots of them. We put this game right around 150 which is FLYING over this posted 134. Play the OVER.
03-26-14	Illinois State v. Siena UNDER 135	Top	49-61	Win	100	10 h 59 m	Show
DMack's CBI Tournament Total of the Year is on Illinois State and Siena Under This looks to be a generic high/low based on year play. Current for and teams styles indicate a much lower total. Illinois State is a 6-1-1 low run in their L8 but it is their horrific road play (7 straight Ls) that has us believing that Siena will dictate pace. The Saints have played seven straight lows and are 19-7 south in their 26 lined games. With those types of numbers, all/most techs are live as well. Siena's first two CBI game produced 106 and 121 points. See this game much closer to 120 than the 135 posted tonight ..... play the UNDER.

03-09-14	St. Louis v. Massachusetts UNDER 138.5	Top	64-62	Win	100	4 h 14 m	Show
DMack's College Basketball Play of the Day St Louis opened conference play 12-0 before current three game skid. The Billikens have had problems scoring the ball and their best player, Jordair Jett, is iffy with a sore knee. The under is 6-2 in the Bills L8 and 16-7 for the year. UMass is far more offensively inclined but face a team here that allows less than 40% from the field overall (39.5%( and is elite on the perimeter allowing opponents just 27.6% of their treys. This number is simply too big and we see this one falling closer to 120 than 140. Play the Under.
02-22-14	San Diego State v. New Mexico UNDER 132	Top	44-58	Win	100	13 h 48 m	Show
DMack's Mountain West Graveyard Bailout is on San Diego State and New Mexico Under the Total Not real interested in the side in this one but feel we can make a strong case for the total. Both teams humming coming into this one. The Lobos have won eight of nine and four of five in the series. The Aztecs saw their 20-game win streak snapped in last, a possible look ahead to this one. These are two methodical half court set teams that take a lot of time to set up plays on offense. Neither team has what you could call a go to scorer. Both are premier defensive specialists and in fact, the under is 17-4 in SDSU's 21 games with posted totals. The New Mexico is 4-1 under in its L5 and the last four in the series have gone under including a 55-34 beauty last year. The first one top 60 wins this one. Play the UNDER.

02-06-14	Oregon v. Arizona OVER 137.5	Top	65-67	Loss	-108	11 h 37 m	Show
DMack's Pac 12 Total of the Month is on Oregon/Arizona Over Arizona is just 72 hours removed from first season loss and an injury to their third leading scorer who is out for the season. Cats would in most instances an automatic fade but prefer to look at the high/low here. Both teams don't rally "get after it" on the defensive end. with the Ducks allowing 75.4 ppg on the year with opponents scoring 80+ in five of the last eight. This one finishes closer to 160 than the 140 that still cashes here. Play the Under.

DMack's Elite Eight Total of the Year is VCU/Kansas Under VCU is an almost impossible poisition here against the long, physical, athletic, and deep Kansas Jayhawks. VCU played till past midnight in Friday OT and quick turnaround not real condusive to points from a team that has moved on by nailing 41-91 from downtown. KU has limited their Big Dance opponents to 19-62 from beyond the arc. The Rams gave up 20 offensive boards to Florida State in last and will have similar problems keeping much bigger JHawks off the glass. VCU and Richmond are similar is so many ways and the Rams just won't get the points out of the backcourt that they have to have for success. Rams may even try taking the air out of the ball to shorten the game hoping to keep things close heading to the final five minutes. In a nutshell, Friday's Kansas 77-57 cruise control win over Richmond accounted for 134 points. See a virtual instant replay here against a mirror image team and this one never gets close to posted 146 1/2. Your Elite Eight Total of the Year is VCU/Kansas under.
03-25-11	Marquette v. North Carolina UNDER 151.5	Top	63-81	Win	100	12 h 31 m	Show
Mack Attack Sweet Sixteen Total of the Year is Marquette and North Carolina Under This is a VERY big total that IMO is off a full 8-10 points. That's saying something in a game involving the Tar Heels who don't play a whole lot of defense but Marquette does and thinking that the Eagles will be physical and deliberate trying to shorten the game to have a chance late. Marquette is 9-1 under in their L10 and 12-3 low in L15 vs winning records. Heels are 6-3 under when posted total is greater than 150 and when you look at UNC games vs opponents that mimick Marquette, you have Miami (120), Clemson (126), VTech (125), Boston College (94), and even deffensive juggernaut Florida State (142). Sure Heels love to get up and down and did so vs run-and-gun LIU and Washington. 151 1/2 tonight ??? I don't think so. Your Sweet 16 Total of the Year is Marquette/UNC under.
