MILWAUKEE (AP) — Point guard Tyler Kolek’s fearlessness has been a hallmark of Marquette’s stunningly successful season. The approach helped Kolek develop from a mid-major prospect into a Big East player of the year. He 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 is the No. 2 seed in the East Region and faces Vermont on Friday in Columbus, Ohio.
