The 21-year-old junior faces charges of first-degree marijuana possession and failure to affix a tax stamp. University officials confirmed on Monday, March 16, that he has been removed from campus while they investigate. The school did not directly say Holloway is suspended from team activities, but reports indicate he will stay away until the process wraps up.

Holloway was averaging 16.8 points per game and shooting nearly 44% from three-point range, making him the team's top.
