By now, most of you have heard about or seen the lower leg injury that Louisville Cardinals' guard Kevin Ware suffered playing against the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA Midwest regional final on Sunday. With a little over six minutes remaining in the first half contesting a three-point shot, Ware came down awkwardly on his right leg, which bent at a 90-degree angle and led to an open fracture where nearly six inches of bone protruded through his skin. In a scene filled with coaches crying, teammates regurgitating and an arena full of people praying for the sophomore guard, it is arguably the most horrific injury ever seen on a basketball court. CBS, who aired the game, may have shown the replay a total of three times and that's it. Other media outlets like ESPN showed it afterwards and gave warning to their viewers of its graphic nature. I didn't actually see it as it happened, but once I heard about the specifics the next morning, I had no desire to see any replays. Only by research for this particular post did I come across a few of the bone protrusion pictures. To date, I still haven't seen the video and don't want to see it.
