WASHINGTON - It was not the best day for Villanova basketball star Scottie Reynolds.
A blizzard of historic proportions prevented the senior point guard’s planned personal cheering section — including his parents and about 250 friends from his D.C.- area alma mater — from attending a key game at Georgetown.
Even worse, the Big East rival Hoyas served Reynolds’ Wildcats, then ranked No. 2 in the nation, just their second defeat of the season. But outside the visitors’ locker room in the bowels of the Verizon Center, Reynolds wore a smile and displayed a spiritual attitude.
“We walk by faith, not by sight,” said Reynolds, 22, who is active at the King of Prussia Church of Christ, near the Villanova campus in a Philadelphia suburb.
“You don’t know what is going to happen in life,” he added. “Things are going to happen, good or bad. It is all about how you handle it. It is how you become a better person.”
