Player Robs Coach...Everyone says "Huh"?

This is a very strange story coming out of Charleston, South Carolina. On Saturday, Citadel Quarterback Miguel Starks; a former Citadel player Reggie Rice and two students from the College of Charleston apparently tied up a Citadel assistant Football coach in his apartment and robbed him.

Now, police in Charleston County are investigating to see if the same group may have committed a similar crime a few days previous.

All the participants are still sitting at the County jail and are being held without bail. Rice apparently has a bit of a record, a felony statutory rape charge from September of 2005 and served 24 months of probation and community service.

As for Starks, he was on track to be the starting QB at the Citadel this fall. His future and that of the other participants is not looking too bright.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL SHOCKER: Tar Heels Topped By College of Charleston

The 9th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels headed down to Charleston, South Carolina and ended up with a big fat "L". The College of Charleston stunned North Carolina in overtime 92-79.

Even C of C head coach Bobby Cremins didn't expect this. Coach Cremins was expecting to lose by double digits. Instead his Cougar team pull off a stunner.

"When I look back on my career, I will remember this moment forever," said C of C head coach Bobby Cremins.

The Tar Heels were short handed with starters Marcus Ginyard and Will Graves out with sprained ankles and with out their contributions North Carolina couldn't close the deal.

North Carolina was up 72-61 with 4:02 left in regulation and you would think ball game. Well that's when things didn't follow the script as College of Charleston went on a 12-1 run to force overtime.

This is by far the biggest win for the Cougars in the Bobby Cremins era. As for the Tar Heels they open ACC play at home against Virginia Tech Sunday night. I'm willing to bet the Hokies believe they can get a win in Chapel Hill.

Here's the highlights and post game from WCIV-TV in Charleston, SC
