Well, Monday night’s contest against Eastern Illinois got a little more interesting, as Marquette announced that junior guard Haanif Cheatham has left the team. The team states that it is for “personal reasons,” which implies that this is not a basketball-related decision by the Florida native.
#mubb Junior guard Haanif Cheatham leaving program for personal reasons, effective immediately. Had started all 5 games, averaging 8.2 pts. & 2.8 reb. in 26.2 minutes per night.

Cheatham has appeared in all 70 games that Marquette has played since his time in Milwaukee began, and he started in the first 58 of them.
