BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STAR BASKETBALL PLAYER BUSTED FOR SELLING COKE!!!

So, just as I am here debating whether to go to my "alma mater," this weekend for homecoming, I discover via twitter that Emmanuel "Tiki" Mayben was busted for selling coke. I also discover that 5 other players have been kicked off the team.

Wonderful!

Cocaine? Cocaina? Emmanuel, which means "Our God is with us," what were you thinking? From what I remember in Binghamton if you are a star athlete, then they take pretty damn good care of you. See: movie "Blue Chips." [well not THAT GOOD]

Bad enough that we don't even have a football team, which leaves the basketball game to be the glory of our competive sports.

Well, there's always soccer, I "geuss". #noshots (c) Free

From dishing out assists to passing out the sniff sniff.

From 3 pointers to 3.4 Grams of Coca.

See below.

The Binghamton point guard Emanuel Mayben was arrested Wednesday night in Troy, N.Y., on a charge of selling crack cocaine.

When police officers in Troy, Mayben's hometown, arrested him on a previous charge of selling cocaine Wednesday, they said he was in possession of 3.4 grams of crack cocaine, a felony charge. Mayben was to be arraigned Thursday.

Mayben, nicknamed Tiki and a star on Binghamton's first N.C.A.A. tournament team last season, was one of many talented but high-risk recruits brought in by Coach Kevin Broadus.

"I did all I could," Broadus said Wednesday night. "I tried to help the kid."

Even before the arrest, the Bearcats had been criticized by university faculty and coaches in the America East Conference. The New York Post nicknamed Binghamton "U.N.L.V. East."

Mayben's arrest is the third significant legal problem since Broadus took over the program in 2007. Miladin Kovacevic, who was not recruited by Broadus, was arrested after reportedly beating a student into a coma in a bar fight. He fled to his native Serbia after posting bail. Malik Alvin, a transfer student brought in by Broadus, was charged last year with stealing condoms from a local Wal-Mart.

Joel Thirer, Binghamton's athletic director, did not return a call seeking comment.
