Arkansas' Moses Kingsley denies Seton Hall with ridiculous block (Video)
Moses Kingsley can do it all for Arkansas.
Not only can the senior big man score and rebound for the Razorbacks, the SEC’s preseason player of the year has great timing as a shot-blocker. He put that on display in Friday’s first round NCAA tournament game against Seton Hall.
With Seton Hall’s Desi Rodriguez driving hard to the hole on a fast break, the 6-foot-10, 230-pound Kingsley met Rodriguez at the rim and blocked the shot with authority:

That is just ferocious. Rodriguez was going up for a highlight-reel slam, but Kingsley had other plans, emphatically snuffing the shot with two hands. The thunderous block sent the Razorbacks on a fast break in the other direction, leading to a wide open 3-pointer from leading scorer Dusty Hannahs on the other end.
You’ll see that block on highlight reels for the rest of the tournament.
Kingsley was 10-of-13 shooting with 23 points, six rebounds and four blocks in the Razorbacks’ 77-71 win over the Pirates.
