TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama guard Aden Holloway was arrested on a felony drug charge Monday, just days before the start of the NCAA Tournament, authorities said.

Coach Nate Oats said Holloway has been suspended indefinitely, adding that the Crimson Tide are preparing to play without him this week.

“We’ve got standards in our program and ways we’ve held our guys accountable,” Oats said during his weekly radio show. “We found out about what was going on this morning, and we had to suspend him pending the investigation by the (University of Alabama) office of student conduct.

“We’re certainly disappointed in his behavior. That being said, we still love him. He’s still our guy and we’re helping him get the help that he needs and we’re going to help him in any way that we can.”

Holloway, 21, was arrested after agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force searched a residence near Alabama’s campus and “recovered more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash,” Tuscaloosa police spokesperson Stephanie Taylor told The Associated Press in an email.
