James Out for Season

After Marquette's loss to No. 2 Connecticut, head coach Buzz Williams announced that Dominic James will have surgery on his foot and will miss the rest of the season. The senior point guard broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot during the game, playing just four minutes before leaving.

Without James, Marquette will have to rely on former Ball State transfer Maurice Acker, as well as three-point specialist David Cubillan. James, arguably the best defensive point guard in the Big East, was averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game this season.
