In Providence, with Scottie Reynolds, among others

Published



PROVIDENCE, R.I. — So, it’s still a couple hours before Georgetown takes to the microphones for their mandated press availability, but the quotes are flying fast and furious here at the Dunk, a.k.a. Dunkin’ Donuts Center, a short walk downhill from the Providence train station. With coaches and players going separately, there’ll be 16 press conferences between 11:30 and 7 today. Head-spinning.

Of course, Villanova is the highest-seeded team of the eight that are here to play tomorrow, and that means one more re-visit to our old friend Scottie Reynolds, whose life journey, which included a significant stint in Herndon, is the stuff that cinematic tear-jerkers are made of. Reynolds said it himself when asked to think about taking off the Wildcats jersey for the last time, which will happen in sometime in the next two weeks or so.
