FAYETTEVILLE — Jaylin Williams let out a celebratory scream as he jogged down the floor late during No. 24 Arkansas’ victory over Florida on Tuesday.
He didn’t score on the previous play. He didn’t block a shot or even grab a rebound.
But the 6-10 freshman forced a miss by Gators forward Colin Castleton that was rebounded by Justin Smith.
After catching an entry feed near the right block, Castleton dribbled five times in an attempt to back Williams down and give Florida a lead. The Gators’ 6-11 forward hardly moved Williams off his spot, and his right-handed jump hook came up short.
