Winner of game point # 2, Wiltjer with 14 tied for game-high honors with Alabama's Nick Jacobs off the bench.

Winner of game point # 3, as UK did a terrific job on Lacey, holding him to 0.00% from 3-point range on 0-3 shooting, and only 22.2% for the game overall, on 2-9 shooting.

UK finished with 10 blocks (Noel with 8 alone--and should've been at least 2 more by my count), and DanISSELisdaman manages to get very close with 9 to nip blueboss.

Nicely done, Dan and congrats.

Well, atleast i got the tb

Darrell, I know it's tit-for-tat, but the official boxscore from ESPN.com, the Lexington Herald Leader, the Courier Journal, bigbluehistory.com, and kentuckysportsradio.com, all have Nerlins listed with 7 blocks for the game, and a total of 9 for the team. It doesn't change the outcome, as Dan still wins. I only knew because it's the only one I got right, and I've been keeping a running game by game comparison of Noel and Davis thru now, 18 games.

Well, the official box score shows him with 8 blocked shots. I know at one point it had 7; possible that the scorekeeper went back and reviewed other blocks, which happens occasionally.

http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-...13/uk0122.html

Noel's blocked shots occurred--

14:37, 1st half
12:55, 1st half
10:41, 1st half
7:24, 1st half

12:08, 2nd half
10:58, 2nd half
2:54, 2nd half
2:49, 2nd half

If I'm guessing, I'd say they went back and gave him credit for the two blocks he had late in the game--right before Alabama scored on the tip-in by Jacobs to put Alabama up 51-48. Huge play in the game--I remarked during the game that the scorekeeper must be caught rooting for Alabama, as he missed a Noel block at the time. Probably did, and fixed it officially.

Double checked this morning.

8 blocked shots for Noel, 10 for the team in the game. Nerlens Noel has 83 blocked shots on the season, not 82 (as some are showing).
