Please never show that on television. Most awful thing I’ve ever seen live.

I’ve never been in a building that went from that loud to this quiet so quickly. This is horrible.

Several Louisville players appeared to vomit on the bench

I have never seen anything like this before. Four Louisville players in the middle of the floor almost in tears after seeing Ware’s leg.

This entire crowd is silent and on its feet while the stretcher is out waiting to take Kevin Ware off the court.

Entire place, Duke bench and fans, Krzyzewski all clapping on feet while Ware put on stretcher.

Fans applauding for Kevin Ware as he’s wheeled off on stretcher, with a towel over his legs. His shin bone was fully protruding.
