Kolek Update

[StillWarriors]

Kolek ruled out for game 1 of BET.

On a more positive note, MU basketball's Instagram post from practice has a picture of him shooting from distance.

Don't see any photoshop edits like a Kate Middleton photo.

Not that we're maniacal about this stuff or anything.

Oh I'm 100% convinced he will play for Marquette again this year. That picture just means his rehab is continuing.

Just waiting mid-term grades to clear

There's already rumors that Kate Middleton photoshopped it.

Rico,  you've said this definitively a couple times.  Can't tell if it's sarcasm or not.  Inside information?

Rico is NEVER sarcastic.

If only he knew what they said. Need to go back to the check mark, plus or minus system.

Shaka Smart said Tyler Kolek participated in part of practice today and won't play Thursday.

Called him questionable for the rest of the Big East Tournament but will play in the NCAA tournament

'It is not easy for him not to play,' Shaka said

Shaka said "If today was the national championship game, he would be playing"

Glad the team is taking the cautious route on this. I'd like to see a limited-minute tune up against the 14/15 seed and be ready to roll from there.

This is the way.

You start him 1st game and the moment the route is on pull him.

Yep, that was my preferred plan all along.

He gets the start next Thurs or Fri and hopefully only has to log 20ish minutes in a rout.
If effective and needed he plays more.

We should know fairly quickly into that first game if he will be himself or not and have an idea of how far the team can go, assuming they are playing up to their capabilities.

However, I can still see him suiting up Friday and/or Saturday, especially in some limited or minutes capped fashion. I just don't know that I want to see it, but if it helps Marquette win I guess I'm still for it.

If he's not "ready to roll" by round 1 he isn't going to be in a potential game 2 days later

[Jay Bee]

He's a scoop contributor, goes by the handle of Uncle Rico

I think it's more along the lines of if he reinjures it on thursday/friday against a bad team we wasted a huge opportunity. If he reinjures it on Saturday/sunday at least he sacrificed to get us to the sweet 16.

This is the only decision that makes sense ... and Shaka is a sensible coach.

[Jay Bee]

100% will give it a go at the ncaa tourney

TyKo's a warrior. You just know that he wants to go, but they're doing the right thing. Rest and heal. Be ready to go next week.

Yes, the ball is on a string and that is as high as Tyko can jump
