Significant March Madness injuries today

Among the most significant players dealing with injury issues are a couple from Marquette. Tyler Kolek (15.0 points per game, 7.6 assists per game) has been out since the end of February and is anticipated to make his return.

Big man Oso Ighodaro (14.0 ppg, 6.9 rebounds per game) is also questionable with a knee issue.

Florida will have to play without big man Micah Handlogten (5.3 ppg, 6.9 rpg), who suffered a season-ending injury in the SEC Tournament. For a Gators team already slated for a 7/10 competition, the loss of Handlogten could be significant.

Several other players are facing injury issues. Houston matches Marquette with the most players listed on the injury report, but most of Houston's players were depth players who have been out for a long period of time.

Arceneaux (5.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg) is probably the most significant loss, as Tugler (3.8 ppg, 4.1 rpg) and Walker (2.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg) have played less.

Clemson is without both Hemenway (5.2 ppg, 1.4 apg) and Leyte (0.8 ppg, 0.8 rpg), but those absences should not be too detrimental. Meanwhile, Colorado will be missing Hammond (7.4 ppg, 2.5 rpg) and Smith (2.9 ppg, 1.1 rpg) a bit more.

Duke is also among the teams with multiple players out. While Reeves (1.7 ppg, 1.7 rpg) saw only minimal playing time, the absence of Caleb Foster (7.7 ppg) could be consequential in March for Duke.

Nebraska has a pair of players down and both CJ Wilcher (7.9 ppg, 1.5 rpg) and Eli Rice (4.2 ppg, 1.6 rpg) are contributing players who will be missed.

Northwestern has been without standout guard Ty Berry (11.6 ppg, 3.9 rpg) for over a month, and big man Matthew Nicholson (5.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg) is adding to their injury woes.

Saint Mary's has been without forward Joshua Jefferson (10.2 ppg, 6.5 rpg) for over a month and 7-foot-1 Aussie center Harry Wessels (4.4 ppg, 3.6 rpg) is now questionable for action.

Finally, Wisconsin will likely see little impact if both Issac Lindsey (0.6 ppg, 0.4 rpg) and Isaac Gard miss their Friday game.
