Milwaukee – Marquette guard Tyler Kolek (oblique) will miss the BIG EAST Tournament opener on Thursday night and is questionable for the remainder of the tourney, but will be ready for the team’s NCAA tournament opener, head coach Shaka Smart announced Wednesday afternoon.
Kolek, who was injured in the Feb. 28 matchup with Providence, missed the team’s final three regular-season games against No. 12 Creighton, No. 2 UConn and Xavier.
Kolek, an All-America candidate and unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team selection, leads the nation in assists (7.6 apg.) and is contributing 15.0 points and 4.7 rebounds per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the floor in an average of 32.4 minutes per night.
