Two UW-Madison men's basketball players were jailed Sunday on tentative charges of burglary and underage drinking in the thefts of portable music players, a cell phone and $400 cash from "numerous" dormitory rooms, university police said in a news release.

Diamond Taylor and Jeremy Glover, both 18-year-old students, were confronted by police as they left Sellery Hall, according to a news release. Police had been called to the dormitory to investigate a reported burglary.

Both were suspended from the men's basketball team, athletic director Barry Alvarez announced in a press release Sunday night.

University police said in the release that the men admitted to entering the unlocked dorm rooms without permission and officers relieved the pair of "numerous items, including iPods, a cell phone and over $400 in cash."

Police said the students may be suspects in several other burglaries Sunday morning at a residence on Langdon Street, and that there are more burglary victims in Sellery Hall who have not yet been identified. Officers asked that other possible victims call the department at 264-COPS (2677).

The release said the two were suspended from "competition and practice pending the availability of further information relating to their cases."
