During
the 2006 Big East Tournament, Villanova guard Allan Ray got poked
in the eye by Carl Krauser of Pittsburgh. Most news outlets refused
to play the clip, and only called it a 'serious eye injury,' leading
to speculation by many that the eye was poked out.
Ray
apparently lost vision for some time, but in reality, the eye
never came loose from the socket--his eyelid just went behind
his eye. Still sounds damn painful if you ask us.
Ray
did regain his vision, and it turned out there was only soft tissue
damage. He returned to the court less than a week later to play
in the NCAA tournament, and led his team in scoring in his first
game back.
