Valpo started the year very young but has improved in the second half winning four of their last six. The Crusaders won both meetings by two but those games were early on.

Mack Attack NCAAB Power Pack winner is the Baylor Bears Baylor just keeps on keeping on and has now won 22 straight games since losing to Washington in a tournament in Alaska early on. The Bears have dominated the Big 12 to this point and have played exceptionally well on the road. The Sooners have won their last four home games and are supremely coached by Lon Kruger but haven't matched up well in the series, losing four straight and 6 of 7 overall. This deep and veteran Bear team is firing on all cylinders ... finds a way to win by 8-10 points here.

DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the San Diego State Aztecs In this very wide open college basketball year, San Diego State finds itself not only with a chance to be a mid-major one-seed but also have a real chance to advance to the Final Four. The unbeaten Aztecs led Boise by 23 at the half before cruising to a 83-65 home win on January 9th. SDSU has lost the last three meetings on this floor where the Broncos are 6-0 this year in MWC play and who also start three seniors. The Aztecs last real test before the Mountain West tournament to remain unbeaten and we think they pass with flying colors.
