FAYETTEVILLE — In the first 28-plus minutes of Arkansas’ home game against Kentucky last Saturday, Razorbacks forward Jaylin Williams was 1 of 8 from the floor.
His lone bucket to that point came on a drive and dunk on his second field goal attempt of the afternoon. Outside of that play, Williams missed layups following a pair of drives to the rim, including one in transition, misfired on a catch-and-shoot midrange jumper and was 0 of 4 on catch-and-shoot threes.
Williams, however, was unflappable down the stretch. In the final 11:07 of the Razorbacks’ eventual 75-73 victory over the Wildcats, the sophomore played with supreme confidence.
