Xavier’s Kaiser Gates has taken advantage of his opportunities and created a role for himself on an already deep Musketeer team.
It was a terrible moment.
Just minutes into the January 31 contest at Villanova, point guard Edmond Sumner took a nasty fall after contact on a drive to the basket. To make matters worse, 240-pound Kris Jenkins then landed on his head.
It wasn’t a dirty play by anyone on the Wildcats, but that was little consolation as Sumner lie motionless on the floor and was taken off on a stretcher, wearing a neck brace 20 minutes later.
