Imo Essien, a sophomore, returned to practice just four days after collapsing during Old Dominion's victory over Georgia Southern. Essien, who was playing defense when he abruptly collapsed on the court with just over 13 minutes remaining in the first half on Saturday, was playing defense when he collapsed on the court. He appeared to briefly attempt to get back to work before going back to pain. The guard was immediately attended to by both schools' trainers, and he seemed to have remained alert throughout the ordeal and walked out of court. As he returned to practice Tuesday, Essien admitted he felt like he was breathing through a straw during the frightening ordeal.
