The morning after suffering one of the most gruesome injuries in televised sports history, Louisville Cardinals sophomore guard Kevin Ware was moving around on crutches in his Indianapolis hospital room.
The team brought the Midwest Regional trophy to Ware's bedside Sunday night as he recovered from the broken right leg suffered in the first half of Louisville's 85-63 win over Duke.
In a conference call Monday, Pitino said Ware was excited that he brought the Mdwest regional trophy to the hospital. Pitino asked Ware if he should bring it back (to the team).
"It's staying with me," Ware told him.
