LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe has brought star freshman center J.J. Hickson off the bench, but that didn't stop Villanova from making a run.

The Wildcats cut the deficit to 12-11, and we are now 8 minutes into the game.

Hickson started the team's first two games and led the Wolfpack in scoring, but he has not been in the starting lineup at the Old Spice Classic because of disciplinary issues.
