No. 5 Marquette men’s basketball won the game, but lost its First Team All-American in the process as senior Tyler Kolek left the game in the second half with an ankle injury.
The Golden Eagles (2-0) would go on to beat the Rider Broncs (1-1) 95-65 Friday night, but they did so without their starting point guard to see them out.
“I really thought everyone came in and contributed in different ways,” Marquette head coach Shaka Smart said.
Kolek’s timetable
The Preseason Big East Player of the Year would not return for Marquette, sitting out the final 8:06 of the game.
