Again, Tyler Kolek is the talisman for the No. 5 Marquette Golden Eagles (22-6, 13-4 in conference) this season. However, the guard picked up an oblique injury during Wednesday's game against the Providence Friars.

Per reports, Kolek picked up his injury before the 16-minute mark of the second half. Not too long after that, he exited the game, finishing with 12 points in 18 minutes.
While speaking to reporters on Thursday, Golden Eagles coach Shaka Smart provided an update on Tyler Kolek's injury:
"He (Kolek) spent a lot of time today with our training staff and our doctors. He's still being evaluated."
"He did injure a muscle in his oblique. I don't really have a timetable on exactly when he'll get back. He didn't do anything today, practice-wise. But Tyler's a guy, I promise you this, as soon as he's available and he's physically capable of coming back, he will be back."
Nonetheless, Marquette will hope Kolek's injury is not a major concern with March Madness just around the corner. The senior is averaging 15 points, 7.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds across 28 games this season.
