Tyler Kolek shuffled down the court and put one finger to his mouth. It was a simple message to the Villanova fanbase from Marquette men’s basketball’s resident trash talker: Shhhhh.
Kolek had just scored his second straight 3-pointer to the sound of “airball” chants coming from the Finneran Pavilion student section. The make gave the Golden Eagles a 56-51 lead, marked a 9-0 run and forced the Wildcats to call a timeout with 11:07 left in the game.
