JayVaughn wears his war wound like a crown. He calls his child Jesus.

Nova is famous for small ball, but the key matchup will be between two highly-touted freshman power forwards, Chane Behanan and JayVaughn Pinkston.

Pinkston's is an interesting story. There was lot of hype surrounding the McDonald's All American's arrival to the Wildcats last year, but JayVaughn was suspended for the entire season after being involved in a brawl outside of a frat house. He was booted from the team and from campus and had to get a 9-5 job hauling boxes at a warehouse to pay for an apartment until he could rejoin the team. Now he's back, humbled, and playing damn good basketball. He's the current Freshman of the Week honoree for the Big East after logging two straight double-doubles, including a 23 point 11 rebound performance against Seton Hall. He's scored in double figures in 5 of the last 6 games.

Chane Behanan is also coming off his best game of the season. It should be a good battle on the blocks tonight.
