In their first game back together with his twin brother, Marcus dropped 11 points and 7 rebounds in a 86–62 victory over the McNeese State Cowboys. His twin brother, Michael, recorded 9 points and 4 steals in that same game. On January 29, 2022, Marcus scored a season-high 27 points to go along with 9 rebounds in a 69–61 victory over the Temple Owls.
