Alabama Basketball Faces Setback, Star Guard Arrested

0:00On March the 17th, Alabama basketball faces a setback just days before the NCAA Tournament. Junior Guard Adam Holloway, a 21-year-old key player, was arrested Monday after police found 2.1 pounds of marijuana in his. Tuscaloosa apartment. He faces charges of first degree possession, a class C felony, plus failure to affix a tax stamp. Holloway bonded out of jail around 10.45 am central time on a $5,000 bond. The university quickly removed him from campus while they investigate through their office of student conduct. Coach Nate Oates spoke about it on his radio show that night. He suspended Holloway pending the probe, expressed disappointment in his choices, but stressed the team's support and focus on getting him help. This comes right after Alabama earned a number 4 seed, set to play number 13 Hofstra on Friday. Holloway averaged 16.8 points and 3.8 assists per game as the team's second leading score, so his absence hurts. The case could lead to up to 10 years in prison and a $15,000 fine, if convicted.
