Marquette Analysis: They’ll be without Tyler Kolek
The Marquette Golden Eagles are among the finest teams in college basketball, but earlier in the season, they were defeated by UConn by a score of 28, making them appear like a JV squad. In addition to being outperformed on the boards and only making 5 of their twenty-three 3-point tries, Marquette lost the rebounding battle 45–27. Marquette will host their senior night ceremony and hopes to defeat the Huskies with a more impressive showing. Guard Kam Jones led them with 23 points in their most recent game, a defeat to Creighton. On Senior Night, the Golden Eagles will be without its best senior, Tyler Kolek, who is still sidelined due to an oblique injury.
