Reynolds Cut Man Cost Cats The Game

I was checking out Villanova as they battled the Georgetown Hoyas in the first half of the Big East tournament up at Madison Square Garden.  Wildcats point guard Scottie Reynolds sustained a severe cut over his eye while driving to the basket in the first half.

The cut was severe enough to require nine stitches.  Foolishly the trainer tried to cut by merely pressing against it with a towel and putting ice on it.  He should have immediately took Reynolds where ever he needed to go and get the thing stitched up. 

You can't have a trainer there on the sideline with the game on the line and he's doing nothing but bumbling.  He's got to know what to do to get that cut closed. 

The trainer stood over on the Nova sideline like he was "lost".  I can't say that the inability to close that cut cost the Wildcats the game but you could say that. Jay Wright and his bunch were going to have trouble winning that game with Reynolds, but everybody knew that there was no way Nova was going to win that game without him.

If that were a championship fight you can believe they would have closed that cut.  Trainers of fighters have closed a million cuts in Madison Square Garden but the Nova trainers couldn't get this one closed and it led to their defeat.

The shame of it is that this could have also cost them a NCAA tournament bid.    They beat Georgetown and I think they would have been a safe bet to get in the tourney.  Now they've got to do a lot of praying out there on the Main Line.
