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.
