Alabama Basketball Star Faces Felony Charges

0:00On March 17th, Alabama basketball guard Aiden Holloway faces two felony charges after his arrest Monday morning. The West Alabama narcotics task force found more than one pound of marijuana in this possession. As a junior and the team's second leading scorer, he played a big role in earning them a number foreseed in the men's NCAA tournament. The timing could not be worse for the Crimson Tide. They learned their tournament fate on Sunday and now face Hofstra in their opener, head coach Nate Oates has suspended Holloway indefinitely as preparations ramp up. This news has hit hard for a program that has seen 13 players grind through workouts and film studies since last summer to reach March madness. Losing a key contributor like this feels like a major setback, especially for a squad that's not the deepest or most experienced under Oates. Officials have not released more details on the investigation yet, but the charges underscore the seriousness of the situation. The team must now adjust without one of their top performers right as the pressure builds.

1:02Alabama's tournament run hangs in the balance, but the focus shifts to how they rally around the roster they have left.
