Less than two weeks ago, Herb Pope stood inside the Tarrytown Marriott wearing a brown sweater and matching shirt and tie and talking about his dreams of playing in the NBA.
On Monday, the 6-foot-8 Seton Hall sophomore forward lies in a bed at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., after collapsing last Wednesday during a workout at the university’s Recreation Center.
Multiple reports over the weekend indicated Pope’s condition was improving, and Robert Morris coach Mike Rice told the Beaver County Times last week that Pope was “in stable condition” after his “heart stopped” and he suffered “seizures, convulsions and was vomiting.”
**Also, The Star-Ledger reports that Duke and Butler will reprise their NCAA championship game Dec. 4 at the Izod Center. The game will be shown on ESPN.
