Team spokesman Kendrick Lewis says Tyvoris Solomon was "stable and conscious." Emergency medical personnel administered chest compressions before he was transported off the court on a stretcher.
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.
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.
