"Failure to affix a tax stamp" is some Revolutionary War stuff, come on

Since it was a pound and was purchased illegally, Holloway is facing felony charges. This isn’t some kid in Wilton getting caught with a grinder and a joint. Should be an interesting week for Nate Oates.

News reports one pound- state not getting their financial cut -although I am guessing Marijuana not legal in AL

From what I've read, Alabama is one of the few states that still thinks weed is a bad drug. Not just that they haven't legalized, but they treat it seriously. If this wasn't a Bama athlete, a pound of weed and cash would be a serious issue because it's most likely intent to distribute. It was also a narcotics task force that did the investigation so I can't imagine that Holloway was just smoking all of the weed.

I'd be shocked, however, if anything comes of this until Bama is done in the tournament. Oats has shown zero interest in enforcing rules or even the spirit of rules. I'd be floored if Holloway even misses the first game.

If Brandon Miller can be an accomplice to a murder and still play in the NCAA Tournament, this case will be charged as a misdemeanor and swept under the rug.

Not even close to what happened, ESPN did such a poor job reporting that story and that's what got boosted instead of local media that actually used security footage to piece the story together

This feels significant lol

too bad Albama wasn’t about to play High Point…imagine the comedy

I hope this hurts their recruiting.

We don't have a height problem but we do have an athleticism problem and only having one guy who can create and take people off the bounce. St. John's athleticism and physicality gave us all sorts of problems in our two losses against them, they played up on our guys and forced a bunch of turnovers in both games. Marquette did the same thing to us and we turned it over a bunch.

What happened when we beat them by 30?

What happened when we beat them by 30?

We matched or exceeded their energy right from the start, we were aggressive on offense and didn’t let them dictate what we were going to do. We played a little faster. We also didn’t turn the ball over. And we won the rebounding battle.

I said it before and I’ll say it again st johns are bullies. You have to punch them back in the mouth or else they will walk all over you. They are also a team that relies quite a bit on easy points they want to turn you over, they want to get to the line, and the want put backs on the offensive glass. If they are getting those things their half court offense is anemic. If you notice in all the BET games teams were able to make runs on them they had built up large leads which kept them ahead. They are prone to long fg droughts

 

[Edward Sargent]

And we won the rebounding battle. We also won it in the BE finals too

It'a that time of year where we need to collectively emanate positivity on the darling Huskies and that Hurley is spinning a web back in the lab to take the OOC field by storm, confusing them with unobstructed actions, mesmerizing opponents into a stupor so much as they lose focus defensively and lose oxygen offensively. It will happen.

Prepare to be floored. Holloway has been removed from the team. Appears we will not be seeing him play in the tournament.

Until they expedite the investigation process and he gets a walk
