Two University of Memphis basketball players pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of disorderly conduct related to a scuffle in a nightclub over the weekend.

Shawn Taggart and Jeff Robinson appeared briefly in Shelby County General Sessions Criminal Court. Their case was reset for Sept. 25, The Commercial Appeal reported.

"These are two quality young men," their attorney, Leslie Ballin, said after the appearance. "They were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Under the law, we expected them to be exonerated."
