San Diego State's Dwayne Polee II collapsed during the first half of the Aztecs' 61-33 victory against UC Riverside on Monday night and Viejas Arena fell silent for about 15 minutes while the senior forward was tended to by trainers and a paramedic.
Polee was alert and responsive at a hospital and was scheduled to begin a battery of tests on Tuesday, coach Steve Fisher said. The Aztecs don't know why he collapsed, he added.
As Polee was wheeled off the court on a gurney, his teammates and Fisher spoke with him.
"I said, 'Dwayne, you're going to be fine,' " Fisher said. "He said, 'I'm OK coach. Tell them to win the game.' "
