FAYETTEVILLE — Trey Wade pumped his right fist, stepped to stand over Jaylin Williams, then began playfully punching the sophomore forward between the Razorback logo and No. 10 on his chest.
All the while, Williams, who made a layup as South Carolina guard Devin Carter attempted to pull his right arm down, was lying on his back with both arms flexed, looking toward the rafters in Bud Walton Arena. Once on his feet, he flashed a smile.
In the team’s brief on-court huddle, joy jumped off the faces of teammates reveling in the moment right along with him.
