According to multiple reports, a very scary situation took place on Saturday while Florida was taking on Florida State as Gators star player Keyontae Johnson collapsed on the court and was then taken to a Tallahassee hospital.
From ESPN:
The Gators were coming out of a timeout in the Saturday matchup when the cameras cut away from the court and broadcasters on the ESPNU game said Johnson had collapsed. He was taken to the locker room.
Prior to the incident, Johnson had just finished an alley-oop on a pass from Tyree Appleby. He was celebrating with his teammates and walking toward the sideline before he collapsed.
Florida players on the bench were crying and hugging each other during the timeout. Gators coach Mike White put his arms around his team just before the game restarted.
