FORT WORTH, Texas — Four Marquette players took to the raised stage during Wednesday’s NCAA tournament media availability when head coach Shaka Smart approached from the floor.
One name card was missing so Smart quickly scribbled on the back side of a pamphlet and placed it in front of Justin Lewis.
The 6-foot-7 forward was first team All-Big East and also named the conference’s most improved player. He leads the Golden Eagles with 17.1 points per game and 7.9 rebounds.
