Seton Hall’s Gene Teague suffers ‘really bad concussion’
By Corey Leahy
"Teague, a 6-foot-9 senior, was in the air taking an off-balance shot when he was knocked on his back by Michael Hoffman. Teague lay flat on his back, moaning, and was taken off the court with his neck stabilized after a delay of about 14 minutes. The crowd, quieted by the injury, gave Teague a standing ovation as he left the court."

Head coach Kevin Willard spoke with the Newark Star Ledger about Teague’s injury, and said the original diagnosis was a “really bad concussion.”
"“He was just knocked out,” Willard told the newspaper. “He hit the floor and he was convulsing. I think that’s what kind of made everybody a little scared. I had flashbacks of Herbie (Pope, who collapsed in 2010). Once he came through, it was getting him to understand where he was. He didn’t know what had happened. As time kind of went through, he started relaxing a little bit.”"
Eugene Teague will remain in the hospital for a few days for observation.
