Just saw the injury to the Louisville BB player. If anyone dares show that again, don't watch it.

Basically a compound fracture (bone through the skin) half way from the knee to the ankle. As quickly as it happened, it might be a clean break, but can't imagine that it will be easy to recover from.

Louisville players in tears, Pitino in tears, Duke players turned away in horror, even Coack K looked distraught looking down from the Duke bench.

That was insane, never seen anything worse on a basketball court I don't think.

It was one of those things that was so bad that I couldn't even look away..

Terrible stuff, I feel for that kid. But how about the show of support in that arena. Good to know everyone in there understands that this is more than just a game.

So sad to watch. I didn't realize it was a compound fracture.

His teammates looked completely devastated. I don't know that I've ever seen a reaction on a basketball court after an injury like that. Hell the Duke player who took the shot looked devastated.

Going to be hard for both teams to bounce back after that.

Those are injuries you never expect to see when watching basketball. Idk if I have ever seen a worse injury in the sport of basketball.
