LAS CRUCES, N.M. — New Mexico State men’s basketball coach Marvin Menzies says Jahmar Young will not return for his senior season and redshirt freshman Jacoby Patton has been dismissed from the team indefinitely.

Menzies made the announcement in a statement issued by the university today.

Young was arrested early Sunday and charged with battery on a peace officer after he and a group of people were reportedly being disruptive inside a Las Cruces convenience store.
Young claimed not to know who Michigan State point guard Kalin Lucas was before the teams met in the first round of the NCAA tournament last month.

"We don't shy away from battles," Young said at the time. "We like tough games, you know. It's also a plus to play a name … what's his name?"
"Kalin Lucas."

"Kalin Lucas. I really never even heard of him. But if he's that good, it'll show."

Patton was also arrested on a misdemeanor charge following the same incident with Young.

Whatever....
