Justin Hawkins and the Rebels: Playing better hoops than Maryland, Michigan and Illinois.

Oh, well lookit what we have here: Newest Top 25 polls. Take a gander. See anything like, say, the Runnin’ Rebels in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls?

For the first time since 2007, the UNLV men’s basketball team (5-0) is ranked in both Top 25 polls, clocking in at 24 with the AP and 21 with ESPN. The Rebels, who beat ranked Louisville in their last game, go on the road for the first time this year with a trip to Tucson tomorrow night to play Arizona. They have a game Dec. 12 at the Orleans Arena against Kansas State, then return to the Thomas & Mack Center Dec. 17 to host Weber State.
