     This Kentucky team is one of the best shot blocking teams I have ever seen. Obviously the length and athleticism is there but the timing is exceptional. And like Coach Calhoun pointed out in the first half, the ball pressure that the perimeter players are putting on the Kansas players is setting the bigs up perfectly for blocked shots. Bilas also pointed out that they are very smart about when to body up and when to hold back so that players have the space to block shots.

    Yes, that combo of height, speed, and timing is great. It also looks really coordinated/well commicated. Cauley Stein and Towns obviously spearehead it, but Poythress is the icing on the cake.

    It was crazy.

    They were flying everywhere. Just bodies going thru the air, one after the other.
