2026 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament: Bracket, Scores, How To Watch

NJ Benson - Scores 12 in tournament loss Benson provided 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 63-56 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Benson had a decent performance in Wednesday's first round of the Big East Tournament, but it was not enough to avoid elimination. With the loss his season most likely comes to an end, and as a result so does his collegiate career. This was the most productive season of his career as he averaged 11.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks across 25.9 minutes per game. He spent the first two seasons of his career with Missouri State before transferring to DePaul where he spent the last two seasons.

Layden Blocker - Chips in 16 off bench Blocker contributed 16 points (5-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 63-56 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Blocker was moved to the bench for Wednesday's first round of the Big East Tournament, but he still ended up playing 34 minutes and led the team in points (16) and assists (seven). He hit four of six shots from three but only hit one of eight shots from inside the arc. His junior season has likely come to an end with the tournament loss. He appeared in 32 games this season (29 starts) and averaged 11.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.

Layden Blocker - Scores 10 Saturday Blocker fouled out of Wednesday's 76-57 loss to Villanova after recording 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes.

Impact Blocker, who totaled just 12 points over his last three games combined, scored 10 in Wednesday's loss. He hit four of his 10 shots from the field -- an improvement considering his recent shooting form -- and hit both of his free throw attempts. He got into foul trouble though and fouled out of his second straight game, this time only logging 17 minutes of action.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Maclin - Solid in Wednesday's loss Maclin recorded 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 76-57 loss to Villanova.

Impact Maclin was one of the only bright spots for the Blue Demons on Wednesday as he led the team in points, rebounds and assists in the blowout loss. He shot the ball fairly well too, but he committed a season-high five turnovers which knocked his performance down a peg. He'll look to be more careful with the ball in the regular season finale Saturday versus Butler.

Ilija Milijaševic - DNP against Villanova Milijasevic (undisclosed) did not appear in Wednesday's 76-57 loss against Villanova.

Impact Milijasevic missed his second-straight game as the Blue Demons were taken down by the Wildcats on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-2 junior, who is averaging 2.1 points and 0.5 assists on 7.6 minutes per game this season (16 games), will have his next chance to suit up in Saturday's regular season finale against Butler.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ilija Milijaševic - Carrying questionable tag Milijasevic (undisclosed) is questionable to play Wednesday against Villanova.

Impact Milijasevic has been limited to just 7.6 minutes per game in 16 outings off the bench this season. It remains to be seen if he'll play Wednesday, but if he does, his fantasy upside will be minimal.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Khaman Maker - Active to play Wednesday Maker (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against Villanova.

Impact Maker is set to return after missing DePaul's last five games. That said, he shouldn't have a lot of upside in most formats since his playing time has been limited. Maker has played 10 or more minutes just twice all season long.
