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

Eric Dixon's 16 points helped Villanova defeat Rider 72-48 on Wednesday night. Dixon added five assists and three steals for the Wildcats (4-4). Jhamir Brickus shot 5 for 9, including 5 for 7 from beyond the arc to add 15 points.

Villanova is below .500 and desperate for contributions from players besides Eric Dixon as it prepares for a Wednesday home game against Rider.

The final score shows Rider got blown out by Villanova, 72-48, on Wednesday night at the Finneran Pavilion, but it's the last four-and-a-half-minutes of the first half that were the most disappointing.
