Alabama Basketball Star Faces Felony Charges

0:00On March 19th, Alabama basketball guard Aiden Holloway faces two felony charges after authorities found more than a pound of marijuana in his. Possession. The junior played a key role in getting the Crimson Tide and number four seed in the men's NCAA tournament. The West Alabama narcotics task force made the arrest on Monday morning, just one day after the team learned his tournament spot on Sunday. Holloway ranks as the squad's second leading scorer this season. Coach Nate Oates suspended Holloway right away as the team starts prepping for its first round matchup against Hofstra. This comes at a tough time, with Alabama not considered its deepest roster under Oates. The news hits hard after months of hard work from all 13 scholarship players since last summer, including workouts and film study to reach March. Madness. Alabama now pushes forward without Holloway, testing the team's depth as the tournament kicks off.
