I saw the Arkansas player stepping forward and into the Missouri player who was trying to cut down the lane...moving forward into contact with an opponent who was moving without the ball. That is a block. I don't think it matters that the Arkansas player wanted to get to the ball. He still doesn't get to run into an opponent like that. It sure didn't look like any kind of screen I've seen. To me, he was thinking his teammate was shooting and he was going to the boards. It may have acted as one in a sense but but I'm not buying that it was one.
