Wayns questionable for South Florida
options
 

Villanova guard Maalik Wayns, who suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee in a game last week against Providence, is questionable for Wednesday night’s Big East matchup at South Florida.

A team spokesman said Wayns, the Cats’ top scorer with a 17.8-point average, took part on a limited basis at Monday’s practice and was expected to do the same at a workout Tuesday night in Tampa.

He said the question of Wayns’ participation will be a game-time decision by coach Jay Wright.

Wayns left the Feb. 7 game against the Friars midway through the second half.

    It doesn't matter. S. Fla is 8-1 at home.

    Who cares! This is the most disappointing CAT's team in the last 30 years, undisciplined, turnover prone, poor shooting, a team full of knuckleheads, and a coach who can't coach.

    Patience 'Cat's fans-this is a rebuilding year. Let this freshmen class jell with next years' recruiting class, along with the hold overs-then we will show the Big East our claws!

    @Carpe Good Post.

    Maliik out gives the rest of the team to polish their game so they do not rely on Maliik all the time. skipdog is correct, this year is an extended practice for next season. Especially with a couple of top 50 recruits coming in. I like what is being shown by Pinkston. The man can be a bruiser.

    Sure it is disappointing but not unexpected. I'd hold Maliik out and let him heal more, you don't want to aggravate that. Next year should be back on track for the 'Cats, hopefully with stronger tournament finishes than the last couple of years.

    I agree with racn4acure, keep him out and let him fully recover. Hope he fully recovers and comes back to Nova next year. I'd hate to see him go out like this.
