Fred Hoiberg left Nebraska’s game after feeling sick on the bench

Nebraska head basketball coach Fred Hoiberg left Wednesday night’s Big Ten tournament game against the Indiana Hoosiers after feeling sick while on the bench and the scene didn’t look great.

This happened on the same night that the NBA suspended its season over the coronavirus and came just hours after the NCAA announced that no fans will be allowed at NCAA Tournament games when it starts next week.

Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported that Hoiberg was taken to the hospital in Indianapolis. There are no reports of this as of now being associated with the coronavirus, but with everything going on in the world, watching Hoiberg struggle on the sidelines wasn’t great:

Fred Hoiberg coached tonight despite being sick. He left the bench with four minutes left in the game. This was shown on the broadcast. Notice Armon Gates next to him … https://t.co/YkCTTRHZky
