The Villanova Wildcats have been one of the premiere college basketball programs for the last few decades.

Many outstanding players have come through the school's campus, but one current player is trying to become an all-time record.

Nova forward Eric Dixon is approaching massive school history. The fifth-year senior needs just 59 more points to become the Men's All-Time leading scorer in Villanova history.

As it stands, Dixon is in third place on the leaderboard with 2,184 points scored.

Kerry Kittles ('92-'96) currently leads the way with 2,243 points in his NCAA career. After him, it's Scottie Reynolds ('06-'10), who scored 2,222 during his Villanova tenure.

The Wildcats have one more regular-season game, which will be on Tuesday night against the Georgetown Hoyas. After that, Villanova is guaranteed at least one game in the Big East conference tournament.

So, in total, Dixon has at minimum two more games to reach this historic milestone.

There are no guarantees Dixon will make this incredible history, but it'll be close. The forward is averaging a career-high 23.6 points per game while shooting 46 percent from the floor and 43 percent from behind the arc.

Dixon may not have the national championships or the March Madness history that other Villanova legends have, but that shouldn't take away from his incredible collegiate career.

Since making his NCAA debut in 2020, Dixon has averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while shooting 47 percent from the floor and 39 percent from three.

As the Wildcats' season comes to an end, watching every minute Dixon is in the game will be a must to see if he can etch his name in Nova history.
