    JayVaughn Pinkston has been suspended by 12th-ranked Villanova for the spring semester and will not play for the Wildcats this season.

    The freshman power forward was suspended from the team last month after he was charged with two counts of simple assault and harassment following a fight at an off-campus apartment.

    He is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

    "I am sorry," Pinkston said in a statement. "This situation is my responsibility and I have learned from it. I am going to work extremely hard so that I can return to the Villanova family in June."

    Pinkston, who cannot take classes in the spring, will retain his eligibility since the suspension is a university sanction and not an NCAA penalty. He can return to Villanova in the summer as a redshirt freshman, with four years left to play.
