A lot of the talk I heard coming into the season was that it was important to compete for at least a play in, that's why they spent money on FVV, Brooks, etc. Ime himself expressed he is used to the playoffs and that is his goal for this year as well.
That Sengun block looked clean, contact came after he blocked it so it should have been incidental. Ben Taylor was a bit aggressive with the foul signal too, he is emerging as Scott Foster's heir apparent. This game is about Ben now
