FAYETTEVILLE — FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas Razorbacks freshman Daniel Gafford lit the Walton Arena crowd with end to end action late in Saturday's 72-54 victory over Vanderbilt that perfectly illustrated why he entered major college basketball with such great fanfare and expectations.
On the defensive end, the 6-11 Gafford packed a shot from Vanderbilt's Peyton Willis, the former Fayetteville High standout.
C.J. Jones collected the rebound for Arkansas and found Darious Hall with an outlet pass near mid court. Hall turned and spotted Gafford sprinting downcourt unguarded, hit him in stride on the break and Gafford electrified the crowd with a vicious windmill dunk with 2:07 to play.
