During today's Elite Eight game against Duke, Louisville's Kevin Ware sustained a broken leg that was one of the most gruesome in sports history. Players on the floor, both Duke and Louisville, looked horrified.

Here's Ware's coach, Rick Pitino, in tears over the injury.

Ware left the stadium on a stretcher. He was reportedly taken to the emergency room with what Lousiville announced as a broken leg.
