"Aiden Holloway was arrested on Monday after being found with over a pound of marijuana at his Tuscaloosa residence, according to multiple reports. The 21-year-old was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp. First-degree possession of marijuana in Alabama is a Class C felony, and if Holloway is convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison."
"Under the tutelage of Speedy Claxton, who was the star point guard for the mid-major under head coach Jay Wright the last time the school dabbled in March Madness, Hofstra went 24-10 and finished third in the CAA this season before going on their run in the conference tournament."
"Holloway ranked second on Alabama with 16.8 points per game to go with 3.8 assists, and his potential absence could give Hofstra significant momentum in the backcourt battle as it tries to pull off the upset."
Hofstra makes its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 25 years as a No. 13 seed in the Midwest bracket, facing No. 4 seed Alabama on Friday in Tampa. Alabama guard Aiden Holloway was arrested Monday with over a pound of marijuana, charged with first-degree possession and failure to affix a tax stamp—a Class C felony carrying up to 10 years imprisonment. Holloway averaged 16.8 points and 3.8 assists per game, ranking second on the team. Hofstra, coached by Speedy Claxton, finished 24-10 and won the Coastal Athletic Conference tournament. The Pride features CAA Player of the Year Cruz Davis, who averaged 20.2 points per game, and CAA Rookie of the Year Preston Edmead. Hofstra has upset Pittsburgh and Syracuse this season.
