Once Underdogs... - Zagoria, NYT

Great article about Marquette that focuses on Kolek.

Wonderful story about Tyler in the Johnnies game where Tyler saw a fan hold up a 0 after he didn't score in the first half.

I didn't realize that Vermont recruited Tyler out of high school.

After he went scoreless in the first half against St. John’s last Thursday in the Big East tournament, Kolek noticed a St. John’s fan forming his hand into a zero, holding up his arm so Kolek could see. He finished the game with 19 points, including the tiebreaking free throws with 15.8 seconds left in overtime.

“Every point that we scored, I looked at him,” he said of the St. John’s fan.
