Louisville guard Kevin Ware, whose right leg was broken during the Midwest Regional championship game between Louisville and Duke, had surgery and is now resting comfortably. The surgery took two hours. Ware is expected to stay in Indianapolis at least until Tuesday. Ware landed awkwardly, with his right leg bending at almost a right angle, after he contested a shot during the first half of the game on Sunday. His teammates wept openly as he was taken on a stretcher to the Methodist hospital. Even as he was being treated on court, he told his teammates at least 10 times to win the game. Louisville guard Russ Smith heard the break, which was very gruesome. Rick Pitino, Louisville head coach said it was the same type of injury that Louisville running back Michael Bush had in football. The injury took place right in front of the Pitino bench. Many of those players, such as Wayne Blackshear, were overcome with emotion.
