2013 MACY AWARD
ATLANTA GA, -- UNLV's Anthony Bennett is the recipient of the 2013 Kyle Macy Freshmen of the Year award.
"Anthony had a dominating year for the Rebels," said CollegeInsider.com co-founder Angela Lento. "His emergence helped UNLV to an oustanding season.
The Kyle Macy award is presented annually to the top freshman in Division I college basketball. The 1975 Indiana "Mr. Basketball" played his freshman season at Purdue University. Macy averaged 13.8 points a game as a freshman, while leading the Boilermakers in free throws, shooting .859 percent from the line on the season. He started in 25 of 27 games, helping them to a 16-11 season record.
After playing his freshman year at Purdue, Macy transferred to the University of Kentucky in 1976. He started every game for the Wildcats in 1977. A three-time All-America and three-time All-SEC player, Macy was a member of Kentucky's 1978 National Championship team. In his senior year of 1979-80, he became the first Kentucky player ever to be named consensus Southeastern Conference Player of the Year.
