But they'll head into the second round without Junior Guard Aiden Holloway, who's been suspended following his arrest earlier in the week. Holloway was picked up on Monday, March 16th, our marijuana possession charges, and for not having a tax stamp. Officers found about two pounds of the drug, some paraphernalia, and $400 in cash. He posted a $5,000 bond and faces court on Tuesday, April 14th. The team showed they can get by without him, shooting well from the field and beyond the arc. Guard LaBarran Feline stepped up big with 29 points on efficient shooting. Coach Nate Oates confirmed the suspension, stressing the program's standards for accountability. University officials removed Holloway from campus while they investigate through their student conduct office. He's been a key piece this season, averaging nearly 17 points per game along with solid rebounds and assists.
