Comment: Noel picked the perfect time to really emerge in all facets of his game, as Kentucky has rolled off five wins in a row to get back into the top 25. He has three straight double-doubles — and that doesn’t include his 12-block performance against Ole Miss two weeks ago. Over his past three games, Noel is averaging 13.0 points and 12.0 rebounds, blocking eight more shots during that span. He’s also become more aggressive, getting to the free-throw line 26 times in three games.
