'I couldn't see': Kenny Goins forced to shoot free throw after injury

Piscataway, N.J. – At 22 years old, Kenny Goins already wears progressive lenses. So, it’s not like he’s been blessed with the best eyesight.

But the fifth-year senior, who wears contacts when he plays basketball, was at an even greater disadvantage late in No. 9 Michigan State’s overtime loss to Louisville on Tuesday night.

He could only see clearly out of his right eye.

With the game tied at 67 with 13.3 seconds to play in regulation, Goins grabbed the rebound of a missed Louisville free throw and was hit in the eye by the Cardinals’ Malik Williams.
