The 6-foot-9 John averaged 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks this past season. His 191 career blocks rank second in Marquette history. He has made 91 starts over the last three seasons. John’s departure is another piece of the overhaul of Marquette’s roster under new coach Shaka Smart.

Other transfers from Marquette’s 2020-21 team include Jamal Cain (Oakland), Koby McEwen (Weber State) and Symir Torrence (Syracuse).

Adding to this year’s fun is the fact that, for the first time since 2012, the first round has more than two games. Since UConn returned to the Big East and the conference now has 11 teams, there will be three games in Wednesday’s first round instead of the usual two. The first of those three games will feature the #8 Georgetown Hoyas (9-12, 7-9) against the #9 Marquette Golden Eagles (13-13, 8-11).
