Marquette will be without Chris Otule for the remainder of the season after breaking his right foot during practice Monday.
He had appeared in all three of Marquette's games this season, averaging 3.7 points and 2 rebounds, after appearing in just nine games a year ago. Otule missed the first 10 games of last season after breaking a bone in his left foot.
"We are extremely hurt for Chris," head coach Buzz Williams said in a statement Monday night "His development since the end of last season has been extraordinary. He has grown as a person and that was reflective in who he was becoming as a player. His game and confidence were growing daily, and though his stats do not reveal it, there was a residual positive impact for what he was giving our team on both ends of the floor."
Otule the second Golden Eagles player to suffer a season-ending injury, joining freshman Junior Cadougan, who ruptured his Achilles during preseason workouts.
Marquette (3-0) hosts South Dakota tomorow night at the Bradley Center before heading to Orlando for the Old Spice Shootout on Thursday.
