Dixon leads Villanova against Rider

Villanova takes on the Rider Broncs after Eric Dixon scored 38 points in Villanova's 76-75 loss to the Maryland Terrapins

6 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drops 38 against Terrapins Dixon provided 38 points (15-29 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 76-75 loss to Maryland.

Impact Dixon was that guy offensively for the Wildcats in the near win against Maryland, but his career-high 38 points wasn't enough as the team lost by just one. The senior forward is now averaging 26.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals across five games, and he's been relied on as the top scorer for Villanova with no game under 20 points yet this year. He'll likely have an easier matchup on Wednesday against Rider, but Big East opponents will soon arrive for tougher games.

Huge 33-point outing in loss Dixon closed with 33 points (11-16 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 90-80 loss to Columbia.

Impact Dixon wasn't able to lead the Wildcats to a win against the underdog Columbia squad, but he still put together a very solid performance in the end. The senior forward had to serve a one-game suspension which kept him out of Villanova's season-opener win over Lafayette, but he didn't seem to miss a beat in his return to the court for game two of the season. He amassed more than 30 points just twice in the 2023-24 season, meaning he could already be on pace for a big campaign as the year unfolds.
