You knew immediately it was bad because in an instant there was frantic activity. And moments later the PA announced that any Doctors in attendance were needed at the SC State bench. At the same time the serious medical equipment was wheeled onto the court in a rush.
It's a very emotional and helpless feeling when you can't do anything and just have to sit helplessly and watch while they try to resuscitate a young man - kid, really.
CPR and AED's save lives.
After he was revived and taken to Rex Hospital, both teams went to their locker rooms to wait.
Obviously the game was going to be ended.
But, SC State wanted to wait and see how their player was doing. The entire arena essentially sat quietly and waited - and when it was learned the player was responding well - SC State wanted to continue the game.

Strong work by Wake County EMS! - Thanks folks. Awesome response, knowledge, training and professionalism that brought this kid back.
Grateful - but overall, I'll be fine with never seeing anything like this again.
NC State 103 - SC State 71

Events like that do remind us of our humanity.
Glad he revived!
