The No. 10 Golden Eagles, the third seed in the Big East tournament, play Thursday night against the winner of the game between Villanova-DePaul. It's unclear if Kolek would be available for Friday's semifinal game, if Marquette advances.
Kolek, the 2022-23 Big East Player of the Year, missed the final three games of the regular season with the oblique injury. He last played Feb. 28 against Providence.
The 6-foot-3 Kolek is averaging 15.0 points, 7.6 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 28 starts. He's shooting 40.0 percent (44 of 110) from 3-point range and 88.0 percent from the foul line (73 of 83).
