Dario Hunt is emerging

Throwing freshmen into the proverbial breach was a necessity for Nevada this season and two frontcourters there are doing well, especially the one whose signing received much less attention.

Pack basketball: Hunt is new kid on the block

Hawaii's Petras Balocka snatched a loose ball out of a scrum and pivoted to his left, tossing in what appeared to be an open layup.

With nothing but open space between him and the hoop, Balocka rose up -- presumably for an easy two points.

That was until Nevada's Dario Hunt flew in from Balocka's right to swat the ball in the other direction, sparking a Wolf Pack fastbreak.

Balocka wasn't the first to have a sure basket snatched away by Hunt's tenacious defense this season. He won't be the last, either...

Go here for the remainder.
