2013-14 College Basketball 5 for 5: Top Five Moments, Freshman, Jerseys, Dunks, and Shockers

TOP FIVE MOMENTS

5. Askia Booker
Booker makes a beautiful euro step to get free, and then drains the shot to give the Buffs a win.

4. Jonathon Holmes
The Big-12 is full of surprises, including this buzzer-beater by an unknown stud.

3. Shabazz Napier
He beat Florida in the Final Four rematch too.

2. Tyler Ennis
Bang.

1. Adreian Payne- Lacey Holsworth
In one of the most heartwarming stories in sports, Michigan State star Adreian Payne and 8-year old cancer patient Lacey Holsworth developed a near family relationship. She was there at his senior day, and he visited her nearly everyday in the hospital. Unfortunately, Lacey died soon after she appeared at Adreian's appearance at the NCAA Dunk Contest. Our hearts go out to Adreian and the Holsworth family.

TOP FIVE FRESHMAN

5. Isaiah Taylor, Texas G
Taylor can do about everything on the court, except shoot. He is an incredible player that is similar to Rajon Rondo and Elfrid Payton.

4. Marcus Foster, Kansas State G
The new K-State guard looks a lot like a former K-State guard, Rodney McGruder. He shoots like him too.

3. Julius Randle, Kentucky F
Randle is a bull. Although he only played one year of college basketball, he led the nation in double-doubles and also was a top 10 draft pick.

2. Andrew Wiggins, Kansas F
How many freshman had rap songs about them? Two actually, James Young from Kentucky and the wonderful "A-Wiggins". Wiggins is one of the best leapers in the world right now, and his game will continue to expand.

1. Jabari Parker, Duke F
Parker is the next Melo.

TOP FIVE JERSEYS

5. Miami Hurricanes
Miami added these fresh new orange jerseys this season, but they didn't help at all.

4. Nevada Wolfpack
Nevada's sky blue didn't really do anything, but they sure looked good.

3. Tennessee Volunteers
Only worn once, these jerseys made the Volunteers look great, and helped lead them to the Sweet 16.

2. St. John's Red Storm
New York skyline? Check.

1. UCF Golden Knights
PINSTRIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOP FIVE DUNKS

5. Wagner?
Dwaun Anderson swoops on to posterize his own teammate #embarrassing.

4. Air Nevada
That's on your family.

3. Air-Zona
All-American Nick Johnson flies in for the oop.

2. Jimmy Buckets
James Young a.k.a Jimmy Buckets slams it home in the title game.

1. And the DOTY is....
Javonte Douglas!

TOP FIVE SHOCKERS

5. These Shockers
31-0, but lost in third round of NCAA Tournament to Kentucky in a heck of a game.

4. Stanford Cardinal
The Cardinal made it to the Sweet 16 as a 10 seed, knocking of Kansas on the way.
3. T.J. Warren
In his first year as a primary scoring option, Warren exploded, becoming the third leading scorer in the nation.

2. Mercer Bears
The lowest seed to win this year; the 14 seeded Bears knocked off Jabari Parker in the second round of the tournament.

1. Dayton Flyers
The 11-seeded Flyers advanced to the Elite 8, beating Syracuse and Ohio State on the way.
