Announcers got it wrong. Doug Sirmons was the C, John Higgins was the Lead. I agree this is a block, but after seeing the baseline view I can see a faint case for a charge call from Lead. After all it was a secondary defender from Lead's area, thus Lead's primary. C had the best look at whether the player had established LGP before upward motion, which the defender clearly never had. Not a terrible call considering the offensive player looked out of control as well. Now if I ever have a blarge I can just say "well, two Final Four officials had one..." :D
