2026 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament: Bracket, Final Scores

Tyler Perkins - Scores 13 in loss to Georgetown Perkins provided 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 78-64 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Perkins put up a decent outing Thursday with 13 points, but it wasn't enough to get past Georgetown and into the Big East semifinal. Perkins has been excellent since the start of 2026, averaging 15.6 points and 5.8 rebounds across 32.1 minutes per game. His scoring will be needed as the Wildcats enter the NCAA Tournament next week.

Duke Brennan - Solid in tournament loss Brennan chipped in 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Thursday's 78-64 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Brennan played well in Thursday's conference quarterfinal, but it wasn't quite enough to avoid the upset at the hands of Georgetown. Brennan scored 14 points on just seven field goal attempts, and he played well on the defensive end too with two steals and one block. The season is not over though with a berth in the NCAA Tournament looming, and Brennan's play will be a crucial determinant on how far the Wildcats can go.
