Not sure if Kevin Ware’s words before the game are especially prophetic or sad. Prayers go out to him and his family twitter.com/donnovanbennet…

That injury to Louisville’s Kevin Ware was the nastiest one I’ve ever seen. Had to turn the channel. Can’t imagine the pain he’s in.

That Kevin Ware injury is the fault of these stupid new stadiums elevated floors. The kid was afraid to fall down there. Shame! #Louisville

Just took the air out of an amazing game. Worse will be at halftime, when Louisville sits in the locker room for 20 mins to ponder it.

Scene of Louisville players sprawled all over court, reacting to injury, is one of the most heartbreaking, touching things I’ve ever seen

One replay, and nothing else. CBS handled that well. That’s as disgusting as it gets. No need to magnify it. The poor kid.
