An unforgettable incident on the BB court

I did not see the injury happen, I looked at the TV and could not imagine what had happened, Louisville players were laying all over the floor, four looked almost passed out, fans were crying, players were crying, coaches were ashen faced with tears on their cheeks. I could tell someone was injured, but did not know the circumstances. Have never seen a scenario like that on a basketball court. PS I have seen a photograph as he went down, the worst break I have ever seen, I don't know how they went on and played. NO, I won't  publish that photograph.

INDIANAPOLIS — After all the buildup, the history, two of the most decorated coaches of two of the most recognizable programs, the most poignant moment of Sunday’s Midwest Region final sprang from an injury perhaps unparalleled in its gruesomeness.

The scene after Louisville’s Kevin Ware sustained an open fracture of his right leg late in the first half was surreal. Four Cardinals woozily held each other up at center court, several appearing on the brink of fainting, others crying and shaking. Coach Rick Pitino dabbed away tears.

But as he was treated on the floor, before a cart carried him off to a hospital, Ware called his teammates
over, but they could not hear him. Pitino had to yell to get their attention.

Russ Smith, Peyton Siva, Chane Behanan, Wayne Blackshear and Gorgui Dieng gathered around Ware. In that huddle, Ware told them, “Just win it for me, y’all.” Louisville, the region’s No. 1 seed, responded by dismantling the second-seeded Blue Devils, 85-63, with a dominating second-half performance at Lucas Oil Stadium to earn a second consecutive trip to the Final Four.

Duke didn't stand a chance, and if they had won, I think the crowd would have booed.
