Early this morning, two stars of the Oakland University mens basketball team were arrested and charged with rape. I realize Oakland University is not exactly a basketball powerhouse, but make no mistake. Both of these young men, 23 year old Duke Mondy and 20 year old Dante Williams are both NBA prospects. Mondy actually led the country in steals last year. Hit the jump for more on the arrest.

Via TMZ:
The alleged victim, a female in her early 20s, called 911 around 5AM Thursday morning to report she had just been raped inside the hotel. Details surrounding the incident are unclear.
Mondy — who led D1 in steals last year — and Williams were in town to play UCLA Tuesday night (Oakland U. lost 91-60).
The arrests are sure to throw a monkey wrench into Oakland U’s performance in the Maui Invitational, which begins tonight. The team is scheduled to play Cal at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, CA — and Mondy and Williams have yet to bail out. Both are being held on $100,000 bail.
Calls to Oakland U. for comment were not returned
