4-5. Caleb and Cody Martin, Guards, Nevada

Nevada’s run to the Sweet Sixteen was one of the most surprising cinderella stories in the tournament last season.

This time around, the Nevada Wolf Pack find themselves in a different situation.

As a team that was ranked for the vast majority of the season, the Wolf Pack being seeding as a seven seed is a major disappointment.

This year, they aren’t nearly as much of a surprise, and have a target on their backs. Coupled with the fact that they haven’t played at all that well down the stretch, Nevada could be in trouble.

Luckily, they have the best pair of twins in basketball since the Harrison twins at Kentucky.

Cody and Caleb Martin, both senior guard on Nevada, have been big play-makers for the Wolf Pack throughout their two seasons in Reno.

In their final trip to the Big Dance, they’ll be looking to make an even bigger impact.

And while both twins can be very inconsistent, especially with their shooting, Nevada is balanced enough to make up for that. Both Caleb and Cody will need to work as primary scorers, as well as leaders and facilitators.

Both twins just play too big of roles on this Nevada team in order to go unnoticed. Nevada has a great chance to make a run, even as a seven seed, but that won’t happen without both Martin twins making big plays all throughout their trip in the NCAA Tournament.
