Ugo's Block Party: ACC Tournament Record

0:00On March 15th, Agana Onyensso, the former Kentucky Wildcat Big Man fans called Ugo, has been dominating the paint for Virginia this season. After two years in Lexington, he transferred to Kansas State and then landed with the Cavaliers, where he's become a defensive force off the bench. In the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, Onyensso turned heads with a record-setting block party. He swatted nine shots in the championship game-loss to Duke, breaking the title game mark. Earlier, he had eight against NC State and four versus Miami, totaling 21 blocks over three games for a new ACC tournament record. Fans and scouts can't stop talking about his impact. Playing just over 18 minutes per game, he led power conferences with three blocks per game, finishing second nationally. His rim protection has Virginia, eyeing a strong NCAA tournament run. Onyensso flashed this potential back at Kentucky during his sophomore year, averaging nearly three blocks per game. His standout was ten rejections against Ole Miss, tying the Roup Arena single game record.
