Just days before their start in the NCAA Tournament, the Alabama Crimson Tide is dealing with an off-court legal issue with one of its starting players. 

Guard Aden Holloway was arrested on Monday for possession of marijuana, said Stephanie Taylor, a Tuscaloosa Police Department spokesperson, to the New York Post. 

The spokesperson said more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash were found after agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force conducted a search of a residence on Monday morning.

Holloway, 21, was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp. He was transported to Tuscaloosa County jail on Monday at 9:48 a.m. and later released at 10:45 a.m. His bond was $5,000. 

It is currently unclear if the Crimson Tide will be disciplining Holloway before they take on Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday in Tampa, Florida.

The Crimson Tide went 23-9 this season, earning them a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region, where they hope to get off on the right foot against the No. 13 Pride, which went 24-10 this year, at Benchmark International Arena. 

Holloway was a key piece of Alabama’s success this season, averaging 16.8 points per game as the team’s second-leading scorer. His last game, an SEC Tournament quarterfinals loss to Ole Miss last Friday, saw him drop 18 points in the 80-79 defeat. 

The Crimson Tide come into the tournament as one of the more successful squads of late, winning nine of their last 11 games. This is the time of year to get hot, and Holloway has played a part in that recent stretch. 

It’s worth noting that, as of June 2024, the NCAA Division I Council removed marijuana from its banned substances list for championships and postseason football. 

Holloway is in his third season with the Crimson Tide, where he returned to the starting role he had during his freshman year in the 2023-24 campaign.

Holloway shot 48.1% from the field, as well as 43.8% from three-point territory, while dishing out 3.8 assists and grabbing 2.8 rebounds per game.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— In her second time facing Arkansas in three days, Alabama starter Jocelyn Briski looked just as dominant as she did the first time.

Jocelyn Briski pitched a complete game with 10 strikeouts as No. 6 Alabama beat No. 9 Arkansas 4-1 on Sunday afternoon at Rhoads Stadium to secure the series win over the Razorbacks.

The only run Briski allowed came on a solo home run from Ella McDowell in the sixth inning. Other than that, the Razorbacks had trouble timing up Briski all day.

“Today was going to be a dog fight,” Briski said after the game. “Arkansas’ a great team. They have really great hitters, definitely some of the best we’ve faced this season, so it was just another opportunity to go out there and show everyone what we’ve got.”

Marlie Giles went 0 for 4 on her senior day in Saturday’s game, but when she got her opportunity at the plate in the second inning of the series finale, the Alabama captain came through with an RBI single to give Alabama the first lead of the game. Giles added another RBI on a ground ball in the fourth inning to make it 2-0 Alabama.

Alexis Pupillo added on to her team-leading RBI total with an RBI sigle in the fifth inning that provided a big insurance run at the time. Pupillo now has 33 RBIs on the season.

Right after Arkansas had scored its first run of the game, Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy called on freshman Ambrey Taylor to pinch hit in the bottom of the sixth inning. She delivered with a two-out, solo home run over the wall in right-centerfield to bump the Tide lead back up to 4-1.

“I was staying ready all game,” Taylor said. “I just get my timing down throughout the game. Murph called to me, and luckily I had an at-bat off her yesterday, so I kind of knew what to expect from her. I just went in there knowing I was doing this for my team, it had nothing to do with me.”

The series win over Arkansas (23-4, 3-3 SEC) keeps Alabama (26-1, 5-1 SEC) right in the hunt at the top of the SEC.

“To start out with a sweep on the road and come home and do that, really proud of the team,” Murphy said. “We learned that they were a bunch of fighters, really, because it was a tough game yesterday. It was 3.5 hours and back-and-forth, and things didn’t go our way a lot of the time, but they came back today and completely turned it around.”
