Kolek suffered the oblique injury in the Golden Eagles 91-69 win over Providence last Wednesday, and didn’t fly with the team to Omaha for its game at Creighton on Saturday.
Marquette’s home finale is Wednesday against No. 3 UConn, where Kolek and senior forward Oso Ighodaro — who also missed the Golden Eagles game against the Bluejays (illness) — will both be honored for Senior Night.
Then Marquette plays its final regular season match at Xavier Saturday at 4:00 p.m. CST.
Kolek is one of the nation’s most impactful point guards and is an All-American candidate. He leads the nation with 7.6 assists per game and contributes 15 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 48.6% from the field.
