Onwards: #2 Marquette 78, #15 Vermont 61

Early hand injury to Big East Player of the Year Tyler Kolek? Didn’t matter.

6-for-12 three-point shooting from Vermont in the first half? Didn’t matter.

First half foul trouble for both Kolek and Kam Jones? Didn’t matter.

Why didn’t it matter? Well, because Marquette men’s basketball scored 1.26 points per possession in the first half and 1.32 per trip for the game as a whole on their way to 78 points and a 17 point victory over Vermont. Oh, did I not say? This was in the first round of the 2023 NCAA tournament.
