FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas freshman forward Jaylin Williams was in uniform for pre-game warmups Friday, but he did not play for the third consecutive game for an undisclosed reason.
The SEC Network broadcast crew said Williams would be available to play if the team advanced to Sunday's tournament final.
The freshman last played against LSU on Feb. 27. He averaged 10.5 points and seven rebounds over a two-game stretch against Alabama and LSU to end February.
For the season, Williams has contributed 3.9 points on 50% shooting and 4.6 rebounds per game.
Second-half surge
Arkansas forward Justin Smith has played efficiently on the offensive end over the last several weeks, especially in the second half and overtime of games.
