Tray Jackson has shown plenty of flashes of his potential during his freshman season.
Jackson has averages just 2.7 PPG in less than eight minutes a game, but he’s given fans glimpses of what he can do as a forward in the extremely athletic SEC.
With Jeremiah Tilmon out Saturday and Missouri facing a talented Arkansas squad, Jackson’s number was called more often, and he delivered.
Jackson finished with nine points, six of them coming off of thunderous dunks that launched Missouri’s biggest crowd of the season to its feet.
His most important dunk was not his most impressive, but it came when his team needed it most.
