— A South Carolina State player collapsed on the court Saturday at PNC Arena and was taken to a hospital during the first half of the Bulldogs' game at North Carolina State.

SC State team spokesman Kendrick Lewis said Tyvoris Solomon was "stable and conscious" after being taken out of the arena on a stretcher. A spokesman for UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh said Solomon is in fair condition.

Emergency medical personnel administered chest compressions before he was transported off the court.

Play was stopped for several minutes while EMS performed CPR. Solomon collapsed near the bench at the 13:08 mark. The arena fell silent. Cries rang out from people around the Bulldogs' bench as staff members fanned Solomon with a jacket.

Players from both teams left the court briefly but were brought back out to warm up before continuing the game.

The game eventually resumed after a 40-minute delay. Lewis says S.C. State head coach Murray Garvin went with Solomon to the hospital.

Associate head coach Rio Pitt led the team for the remainder of the game, which NC State won, 103-71.
