How SMU twins Michael and Marcus Weathers were reunited for one more unlikely year together in basketball

DALLAS -- This wasn't supposed to happen again. Michael and Marcus Weathers agree, it's "crazy" they're back living in the same apartment and playing for the same team five years after they made the difficult decision to separate and everything that happened next.
