SDF Coach Pitino said the kid as he was laying on the stretcher just chanted "win the game" over and over, as he was getting worked on.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.

I just watched it, WOW. That was ugly. I should have had dinner first!
I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often though, those guys are so tall, their lower legs are so thin, and they play hard all the time. It looked like a huge side load when he landed and it just snapped. I hope they can put it back together for him, but the way it was flopping around, didn't look good.
I can't remember but did Joe Thiesman ever play again, after his leg snapped? I'm sure they have much better technology in the medical reconstruction field by now, so maybe they can put him back together and Ware can play again, but man, that was nasty!

Its gruesome but its also sad the benches reaction was to move away and not toward the guy. I don't know.

I think they were in shock. You don't see injuries of that severity very often in any sport. The trainer was smart. He rushed over and immediately put a towel over the compound fracture to get it out of sight.

Watch #5 jump to block a shot near the bench. You'll see him land hard. Then you'll see him laying on the floor. Look at his right leg.

What on earth is wrong with those people? They all backed away and sat on the ground looking away not wanting to help? I can understand a couple that might get queasy, but that's your teammate... go help. It's just a broken bone and the poor guy is going to be out for a long time, if not career ending.
