Here are five unlikely team...

Anthony Bennett To Settle In At Power Forward
Anthony Bennett is leading UNLV in scoring and rebounding.
Anthony Bennett starts the break, Anthony Bennett finishes the break
In the marquee game of the night, UNLV's Anthony Bennett used his quickness to generate a steal, and then let his basketball ability take over from there. It's no wonder he's been atop Run the Floor's Freshman of the Year watch for the past two weeks.
Freshman of the year watch: Week 4
As a reminder to those who are inevitable going to spam my twitter account with outrage that your guy isn't on this list - this has nothing to do with who I think are the top freshmen in the nation. It's all based on what they've done on the court, to date. And no, one great game on national tv does not qualify your guy. And now we're four weeks into the season...

2012-13 NCAA Basketball Preview: UNLV
UNLV comes into this season as one of my favorite teams. Head coach Dave Rice stepped in his first year last season and led the Runnin’ Rebels to a 26-9 record and a birth to the NCAA Tournament. What he also did his first year, was my favorite part of all. He sped the game up. I love up-tempo teams that can get up and down the floor in less than five seconds. They’re the...
