Happy Birthday Ed Pinckney!  Ed led the 8th seeded Villanova Wildcats to the 1985 NCAA title in an upset over the heavy favorite Georgetown Hoyas and Patrick Ewing. He was voted Most Outstanding Player in the Tournament.

On November 3, 1995 Ed was in on the first tip-off in Toronto Raptors history. He faced off against Yinka Dare of the Nets.
