Marquette and Vermont collide Friday, March 17 in Day 2 of the first round of the NCAA tournament in the East Region in Columbus, Ohio. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

Point guard Tyler Kolek fearlessness has been a hallmark of Marquette’s stunningly successful season.

The approach also helped Kolek develop from a mid-major prospect into the Big East player of the year who led Marquette to its first Big East outright regular-season title and tournament championship since joining the conference for the 2005-06 season. Now he wants to help Marquette get beyond the opening round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.

Marquette (28-6) is the No. 2 seed in the East Region and faces Vermont (23-10) on Friday.

Marquette boasts one of the nation’s most efficient offenses because its starting lineup features two outstanding passers in Kolek and 6-foot-9 forward Oso Ighodaro. Kolek ranks among the top five Division I players in assists per game (7.7) and assist-turnover ratio (3.22).
