KU fans are what make me hate college basketball.

plus, now they are all saying "go shockers". [expletive] YOU...we don't want your support. well, i don't.
The fact that you put far more effort into hating KU than you do supporting your own team (at least, on this board) is hilarious.
I wouldn't a expect a ku fan to understand. Plus no one on this board follows wsu so there's no point in bringing them up (on this board at least). I'm not however the only person who hates ku.

Additionally, if you *know* me (which other than here and Facebook you don't, nor do I expect you to know this) but I rarely heap praise/hype on my teams(in any environment) anyways (be it cards, Shox or mizzou) 'cause when they do lose I feel like a jackass. That sentiment isn't usually shared by jayhawks (at least the ones i see)

But if you want to cheer for wsu ill allow it. /razz

Forget about whether I'm a WSU or Jayhawk fan, it's just cool to see a #9 make the Final Four.

Yes. Looked like he suddenly had a second knee.

If Louisville doesn't win this tournament, some other team will have played WAY above their heads. I've watched them dismantle Syracuse twice this year and I have no doubt they'll do it again if given the chance.

There is everybody else and then there is Louisville.

You don't really see injuries in basketball very often where you are clearly out of the game and out for a long time. Especially not that gruesome and obvious. Probably not career ending but still pretty jarring to see.

Louisville is kicking some ass now. Hopefully they can hang on, I always enjoy seeing duke lose.

But he didn't break his thigh bone...
I won't watch replays, I can't take that kind of stuff. Just saying what my random told me. The ESPN article said it was his shinbone that fractured.

I haven't heard a single person say it wasn't a gruesome, shocking injury. Even ESPN didn't replay it out of sheer gross-ness.

Did anyone watching the game in the entire country think, "Duke still has a chance!"

I was on the road, and the Louisville radio guys certainly did. Late in the second half Bob Valvano said that some misplay on Louisville's part made it a 5-possession game, which is about when I turned the car radio to NPR.

“His bone was sticking out of his shin,” Pitino’s son, Florida International Coach Richard Pitino, told the Louisville Courier-Journal. Richard Pitino is a former Louisville assistant and was seated about 25 feet away from where the injury occurred. “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).”
Louisville officials said Ware suffered a broken leg and was resting comfortably in a local hospital in Indianapolis as he awaited surgery. Rick Pitino said in a postgame interview that Ware broke his leg in two places and that it would take him at least a year to recover.

Can anyone other than TE take over Go birds? Looks like if Louisville wins it's all GB's. If Louisville loses AND Michigan wins, TE wins.
