The NCAA Tournament Thread

Hey Marquette, Indiana's invited you to a party on their campus.

Did this bitchboy jump on the Syracuse bandwagon?

Uhhh, I grew up near Syracuse. Know a few who went there. I was watching Sherman Douglas throw alley hoops to Stevie Thompson while you were probably beating off to cute boys in Tiger Beat magazine.

Know how FGCU was a 15 this year that made it to the sweet sixteen? Know who the first 15 seed was to ever win a tourney game? I do, because it was painful........Richmond in 1991 against Syracuse. Billy Owens last game.

That Ware injury is disturbing. It ranks up there with the worst I have seen.

Holy crap that was nasty. Poor kid.

It's okay I'm sure he'll get worker's comp--- oh nvm

Just wondering...if he can't return to basketball, does Ware's scholarship remain intact?

I'd assume so, but just asking b/c you never know.

I think that's up to Louisville. I'm sure he will continue to get some kind of scholarship or tuition assistance but I doubt he keeps an athletic scholarship if he can't return to the court. Very sad and very disturbing injury.

Don't look if you have a weak stomach.

There obviously wasn't enough camera footage to judge fairly... But shouldn't there have been a giant pool of blood. How does a bone that important in such a heavily trafficked area for blood end up with such a 'clean' break.
Medically it's confusing.

The injury looked terrible, but I think that he'll be back next year. Broken bones tend to be easier to fix than ligaments, I hope he recovers.

Not open (compound) fractures though. Particularly in this area. The open fracture exposes the interior bone to air and anything else, thus leaving a much higher chance for deep bone infection. In addition, this bone also aligns the knee joint and ankle joints and even with it being reset with a rod it will never return to how nature and the surrounding muscles/ligs/tends came to know each other. A considerable concern for an athlete as even micrometers off can lead to further re injury. He most likely tore muscle, ligs, nerves and blood vessels too. He'll probably need skin grafts for the wound as well. Probably has a 50% chance of ever playing again, maybe less.

God bless the kid for how he is handling it. Wish him well. It was just a freak break, the stars aligned at the wrong angle, speed, weight distribution. Usually these breaks only happen by extreme opposing forces (think Joe Theismann being hit, or a car hitting a pedestrian)

Hancock for Louisville looks like a 2nd rounder to me.
