Virginia's Tony Bennett appeared to collapse on the sidelines just before halftime in the Cavs' first-round game against No. 16 Hampton.

It's unclear at this time what specifically ails the 46-year-old coach. He was shown in the background of the broadcast bent over at the waist clutching both of his knees.

#UVA coach Tony Bennett is in considerable and obvious pain on bench. Being talked to by trainer Ethan Saliba. Keeps saying, "I'm OK."

UVa trainers helped Bennett to the locker room a few seconds before time expired in the first half.
