This Kentucky Basketball team is a bit of a dumpster fire right now, but let’s start the week on a good note, okay? While looking through some stats this morning, I stumbled upon a positive one. Kentucky is No. 2 in the country in blocks, with 6.33 per game.
RK TEAM GP BLK PF BLKPG BLK/PF
1 American 2 13 48 6.50 0.27
2 Kentucky 12 76 221 6.33 0.34
3 SIU Edwardsville 7 43 133 6.14 0.32
4 Marshall 11 67 193 6.09 0.35
5 Florida 10 60 195 6.00 0.31
6 Hampton 15 89 267 5.93 0.33
7 USC 13 77 220 5.92 0.35
8 Quinnipiac 8 47 169 5.88 0.28
9 Louisiana 13 75 226 5.77 0.33
10 VCU 13 74 261 5.69 0.28
Kentucky blocked six shots vs. Auburn on Saturday, their fifth straight game with six or more blocks. Isaiah Jackson leads the team with 37 blocks, 3.08 per game, with ranks sixth nationally. His block percentage is currently 15.92, which is ahead of Anthony Davis (13.8), Nerlens Noel (13.2), and Willie Cauley-Stein (12.3) and No. 1 nationally.
1. Isaiah Jackson, Kentucky: 15.92
2. Hayden Koval, UNC Greensboro: 14.96
3. KC Ndefo, Saint Peter’s: 14.69
4. Ike Obiagu, Seton Hall: 13.92
5. Mouhamadou Gueye, Stony Brook: 13.74
If Jackson continues at this rate, he will rank in the top ten in all of college basketball since the 2009-2010 season.
The rest of Kentucky’s team stats? Not so good.

He really needs to be on the floor (and to stay out of foul trouble). We should run some lob plays for him too. He is solid!

Does anyone see a top 10 or even a top 15 or 20 school on that list ??? Good defense should mean less blocks IMHO. I agree a good block every so often is needed when someone gets beat on defense but if he is getting that many it might mean the other players are getting beat way too many times.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!
That being said. Jackson is a terrific on ball shot blocker as well, meaning they can throw it to his guy in the post and he can defend him and reject the shot.
To go along with Mel's point, he then gets ample opportunity to block shots as the opposing players drive bye UK perimeter players with ease.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.
