2013 NCAA

the funny thing about russ smith is that he reminds me of JR smith, so i googled him a couple months ago assuming he was his brother or something. turns out he is not related to JR, BUT, JR's brother did play for louisville last year

what a peyton segue by jim nantz

louisville has that look in their eyes. theyre doing it for kevin

everytime i hear dieng's name said i look for the asian dude on the court

How can it be worse! Gross. alright thanks.

my eyes were welling up, the reaction shots of th eplayers tell u all u need to know. serious

spottie, UL bench players were vomiting

duke should probably start trapping these pick n rolls

spottie:

“His bone was sticking out of his shin,” said Richard Pitino, Florida International’s head coach and former U of L assistant who recruited Ware for the Cards and was sitting about 25 feet from where injury happened. “I’m only 30, but I’ve never seen something like that. It felt like cancelling the game. You feel almost silly cheering (after that).”

The ugly scene unfolded right in front of the Cardinals’ bench and was too much for assistant coach Wyking Jones to handle. He jumped up from his seat and sprinted away from the carnage shouting, “Oh, God, no!” Teammate Wayne Blackshear, at first unaware of the injury, inbounded the ball and then looked over to see Ware writhing in pain and his leg dangling.

Blackshear dropped to his knees on the court with a horrified look on his face. Forward Chane Behanan sat on the bench and sobbed.

duke is toast

i have turned it off u_u

plumlee looks like he could be in the next captain america movie

or the next back up power forward for the boston celtics

steph curry needs to helicopter into the stadium and pull a switcheroo with seth so that he can shoot duke back into this game. thats dukes only hope of winning

I hope duke loses by 30

this isn't quite derrick williams banging on the whole team but it will suffice

russ smith is doing it for kevin

plumlee looks like he was pitching hay in the family barn 30 minutes before the game started. then hitched a ride to the stadium in the neighbors '67 ford truck

dying

Jimmy chickwood

hey do you guys know that the third plumlee is already on duke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plumlee

i don't think he's any good

lol @ duke not helping louisville getting the ball back in bounds after the basket. you know the clock didnt stop right

i don't think he's any good

6-11 sophomore who can't find the court is not a very good sign

yeah especially on a team with two bigs

#prayerforware on Facebook from Louisville friends. Hope they do more than pray for him.

im sure some boosters will feel sorry and do stuff for him

he must be on so much morphine right now. must have like 5 drips

cool hand luke is def one of the better nicknames ive heard in a while

speaking of marshall

duke is so lame, just play it out

wow pitino sounds exactly like youd expect

he sounds like the one jerky boy

Wichita state is the only palatable outcome

arent the gasols brothers three too. they should challenge the plumlees to a deathmatch

The plumlees don't stand a chance

what do you suppose the opening line on louisville-wichita state will be

Classic 1784 battle

So sad. Thanks for the info, Jordan. Doubt I will be able to stomach watching it.

yeah, don't

http://www.salon.com/2013/03/31/will_ware_be_stuck_with_the_bill/

i sort of feel like ware's injury is graphic and public enough and that he plays for a big enough school that the bills will get taken care of

it does make you shudder to think if that would be the case had this happened in a DII or DIII game

yeah for sure, but it still highlights the gross inequity of this system

Good lord Louisville's defense is smothering.

They dismantled Syracuse (at Syracuse) with the same strategy, and if the refs are calling a loose game then I don't see how anyone can play with these guys unless.

I really don't like all the hand checking and handsy defense by Louisville.

louisville is the highest-revenue hoops program in the country and it's in their interest publicity- and recruiting-wise to look after the dude to a certain extent.

but yeah the system is fucked up, and even then it's not like louisville's gonna be helping out with his arthritis when he's 40 or whatever

39% growth in value in the past few years. Wow.

also not looking forward to hearing about bleacher report's listicle of 'most gruesome sports injuries in gif form' or a meme of ware screaming courtside with his head replaced by the spongebob starfish

i assume this is already happening; ppl are disgusting savages

like that Thiesmann tweet?

that wins
