Villanova faces the No. 9 Marquette Golden Eagles after Eric Dixon scored 28 points in Villanova's 88-81 overtime loss to the Butler Bulldogs

JANUARY 30, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Co-stars in two-man show Dixon posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 87-74 loss to Marquette.

Impact Dixon and Mark Armstrong (24 points) led the offense on a night when Villanova connected on 42.4 percent of 33 three-point attempts. However, the Wildcats were gashed inside, allowing Marquette to shoot 75.0 percent percent from inside the arc. A portion of that blame falls on Dixon, although the team's 102.1 defensive rating with him on the court ranks in the 69th percentile overall this season.
