FAYETTEVILLE — Davonte Davis contributed in a big way to Arkansas’ success down the stretch of the regular season, but not in the way you might imagine.
The freshman guard from Jacksonville became a mainstay in the Razorbacks’ lineup over the final four weeks of the conference schedule, averaging 9.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in eight consecutive starts ahead of this week’s SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tenn. Barring something unforeseen, he will continue to play a key role in the team’s success in the postseason.
But even before tipoff he has provided fuel for Arkansas of late.
