Akok is stable and responsive, according to West Virginia interim coach Josh Eilert.
Medical personnel attended to Akok for several minutes before he was removed from the court on a stretcher. He was taken to a hospital for further observation.
"I got good news. He's stable, and he's responsive," West Virginia interim coach Josh Eilert said at his postgame news conference."He wanted to make sure he congratulated his teammates, and he's in a good place right now. They're probably going to be holding him overnight to do a lot of testing, but I never thought I'd have to deal with a situation like that. It's heartbreaking, but I'm glad he's still here with us.
