Chris Lykes shines as sixth man vs. UNIChris Lykes appears to be settling into his role as a spark plug off the bench for the Razorbacks.

Davonte Davis - 10 points before ejectionDavis racked up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over UNI.
ImpactDavis was a factor in this game for as long as he was in it, but a second-half ejection due to a flagrant foul ultimately limited his minutes while opening the door for Chris Lykes to have an outstanding game. He's unlikely to see further discipline for his shove on a UNI player, but the more concerning part about Davis' season so far is that both his scoring and rebounding numbers are down from last year, despite seeing a playing time increase of 5.0 mpg.

Chris Lykes - Propels Razorbacks to victoryLykes ended with 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over UNI.
ImpactLykes had to step up in this contest after fellow guard Davonte Davis was ejected due to a flagrant foul, and the Miami-FL transfer answered the call. His 26 points were a game high in what was easily his best showing with the Razorbacks. Despite coming off the bench in all three contests, Lykes is now second on the team in scoring (15.7 ppg), trailing only JD Notae (21.7 ppg).

Jaylin Williams - Plays through injuryWilliams chipped in 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over UNI.
ImpactWilliams gave Arkansas fans a scare after landing awkwardly on a shooter's foot and leaving the game afterwards, according to Rivals, but he was fortunately able to return to the contest. He had also apparently dealt with a back injury late in the offseason, but is playing through any discomfort for now. His presence was pivotal in this contest, as the late return helped the Razorbacks pull away, and he came up with a huge block on the defensive end late in the contest. At 6-10, Williams is also a surprisingly capable ball handler and has already produced 17 assists through three game. That type of assist production from a big man, if sustained, could make him an incredibly coveted fantasy commodity, even in nationwide formats.
