The Muss Buss has a full tank of gas, fresh tires, and an elite combo forward onboard. Arkansas picked up its sixth consecutive win at home by beating West Virginia 77-68 on Saturday, and Jaylin Williams showed yet again just how special he has become. He takes charges, grabs rebounds, and handles the ball like a guard while reliably scoring every time out.
Beyond that, though, Williams has become the floor leader this team has needed.
After J.D. Notae picked up his second personal foul after just 3:26, Williams anchored the team on both ends of the floor. He scored a bucket while drawing a foul, sank the free throw, and had a steal all in the next 45 seconds. Thanks to Williams the Hogs kept their early rhythm and built a double-digit lead.
Au’Diese Toney and Stanley Umude picked up the scoring slack as Notae sat for most of the first half. The two combined to score 17 to go along with JayWill’s 6 points and 9 rebounds.
Once again we will go beyond the standard box score and take a look at the numbers in this impressive Arkansas win.
