Horrific Kevin Ware Leg Injury

The Louisville Cardinals routed the Duke Blue Devils to advance to the Final Four, but it came at a terrible price. Sophomore guard Kevin Ware suffered a grisly injury in the first half, breaking his leg after an awkward landing. Ware was taken to a local hospital, and after the game coach Rick Pitino confirmed that his leg is broken in two parts, with the bone sticking six inches out of the skin, and will be out for at least a year. He also added that it's the same kind of injury running back Michael Bush had back in 2006 with the football team.Ware was leaping to defend a three-point shot by Duke guard Tyler Thornton midway through the first half of the NCAA Midwest Region final in Indianapolis. When Ware planted his leg, turned and suffered what looked like a broken bone in his lower right leg, Theismann was transported back to Monday night, Nov. 18, 1985. That was when Theismann, while attempting a flea flicker pass against the New York Giants, was sacked by linebackers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson his right leg snapped in similar horrific fashion.Ware was taken to Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis, near Lucas Oil Stadium, and was expected to undergo surgery. Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, who famously sustained a broken leg during a Monday night football game against the New York Giants, tweeted: "Watching Duke/ Louisville my heart goes out to Kevin Ware."
