Villanova Wildcats vs. DePaul Blue Demons - News - March 04, 2026 | FOX Sports

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.

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.

Malachi Palmer - Scores 10 Wednesday Palmer posted 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 76-57 win over DePaul.

Impact Palmer made his first start of the season Wednesday, replacing Matthew Hodge (knee) who is out for the remainder of the season. He did fairly well with the opportunity as he scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds, although he did not shoot the ball particularly well. He figures to start again in the regular season finale versus Xavier and could continue to start in the postseason depending on how well he plays.

Impact Perkins scored 20 points Wednesday, just his fourth 20-point outing of the season. He shot just under 50 percent from the field, but he added six free throw makes and two triples. He also tied a season-high with four steals on the defensive end in a very productive outing on both ends of the floor.

Duke Brennan - Records double-double Wednesday Brennan closed Wednesday's 76-57 win over DePaul with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact Brennan recorded his 13th double-double of the season Wednesday after a three-game stretch without one. He was very efficient from the field, hitting seven of nine field goals, and only committed one turnover. He was excellent on the defensive end too with 10 defensive rebounds, one steal and one block across his 35 minutes of action.
