The university later confirmed the report.
“We are thankful for all that Sam and Joey contributed to our program and University during their time at Marquette and wish them the best of luck in the future,” Coach Steve Wojciechowski said in a university statement.
“We have a tremendous group of returning players and are extremely excited about the upcoming season and future of our program.”

In three years at Marquette, Sam has averaged 12.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
A freshman last year, Joey had 9.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest.
The news also is coming on the day that, apparently, fans are receiving season ticket renewals with price increases coming.
Heck of a day for the #mubb preseason packet complete with season ticket price increases to show up in the mail…
