GotAction Inc. | Latest NCAA news. Kevin Ware breaks bone in leg

With 6:33 left in the first half, Ware tried to contest a 3-pointer by Duke's Tyler Thornton. Ware's leg buckled when he landed, bending almost at a right angle.

School officials said Ware was taken to Methodist Hospital with a broken lower right leg. Louisville sports information director Kenny Klein said hospital officials told the school that Ware was "resting comfortably" and that the pain was "under control."

Klein said a team of doctors was being assembled. Ware underwent surgery Sunday night, during which he had the bone reset and a rod placed in his right tibia. Pitino said that he and his son, Richard, who recruited Ware, along with the team's equipment manager would stay in Indianapolis overnight so they could see Ware, who will remain in the city until at least Tuesday.

Louisville athletic trainer Fred Hina called the injury an "open fracture of the lower leg."

"Obviously at the time it happened, the most important thing was to stabliize it and then to transfer him to an advanced care center as soon as possible," Hina said.

One of Ware's teammates and closest friends, Chane Behanan, Ware's closest friend, couldn't believe what was happening.

"The bone was literally out. I saw white, it was literally out," said Behanan, who collapsed to his hands and feet at the sight.

The two spoke at halftime.

"He said 'Don't worry about me, I'm good, I'll have my surgery tonight,' " Behanan said. " 'Go win it for me.' "

Pitino said Ware's leg broke in two spots and that he will need a year to recover from the injury.

Pitino said the injury is similar to the broken leg suffered in 2006 by Louisville star football player Michael Bush, who made his NFL debut in 2008 and has had a productive career with the Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears.

It turned out Bush was watching the game on TV.

"I just cried," he wrote on Twitter. "I feel so bad. Flashback of myself. Anyone if he needs anything please let me know."

Ware was taken off the court on a stretcher.

The injury happened right in front of Pitino and the Louisville bench, and several Cardinals were overcome with emotion.

Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear fell to the floor, crying, and Behanan looked as if he was going to be sick on the court, kneeling on his hands and feet. Peyton Siva sat a few feet away, a hand covering his mouth.

"I dropped to go the ground. I've never seen anything like that," Behanan said. "I don't remember the last time I cried."

Luke Hancock patted Ware's chest as doctors worked on the sophomore and Russ Smith -- who is from New York City, like Ware -- walked away, pulling his jersey over his eyes. Even Pitino wiped tears from his eyes during the nine-minute delay.

Someone finally pulled Behanan to his feet, but he doubled over and needed a few seconds to gather himself. As Ware was being loaded onto the stretcher, the Cardinals gathered at mid-court until Pitino called them over, saying that Ware wanted to talk to them before he left.

Ohio State vs. Wichita State: Game time, TV schedule for 2013 NCAA Tournament

The West Region has been the wildest region of the 2013 NCAA Tournament thus far. The opening weekend saw plenty of upsets, including top-seeded Gonzaga fall in the third round. Now, just Wichita State and Ohio State remain in the hunt for a bid to the Final Four.

On Saturday night, the No. 2 seed Buckeyes and No. 9 seed Shockers will square off in a matchup very few could've seen coming.

Wichita State was not favored to defeat Pittsburgh in the second round, and they went on to dominate them. After pulling off the upset over Gonzaga, WSU made quick work of La Salle on Thursday, as Mid-Major Madness detailed.

The path hasn't been quite as easy for Ohio State. They blew out Iona in their first game, but they've needed late three-pointers from Aaron Craft and LaQuinton Ross to escape upset bids from Iowa State and Arizona. Here is video of Ross' game-winning shot from SB Nation's Buckeyes blog, Land-Grant Holy Land.

The key matchup to watch for is Carl Hall against Deshaun Thomas. Both players have played very well this March, and their efforts are a big reason why their teams are one of eight remaining in the field.

NFL fantasy football: 2013 contract-year players

The movie "Jerry Maguire," which follows the trials and tribulations of life as a sports agent, will forever be remembered for the memorable quote, "Show me the money!" That line also has quite a bit of relevance in the world of fantasy football. While a Super Bowl championship is the ultimate motivation for most players, professional sports is now a business that's based on contracts loaded with dead presidents. So when a player is in a contract year, he has extra incentive to find statistical success. As a result, that player could also have added draft value.


Josh Freeman, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Freeman is entering a very important season, as he needs to prove that he can win games on a consistent basis ahead of free agency. If not, the Buccaneers could decide to go in a different direction. While he showed flashes of statistical brilliance in 2012, he was anything but consistent. Over his final six starts, Freeman failed to score even 13 fantasy points on four different occassions. Clearly the potential to become a more reliable fantasy option is present, but fantasy owners can't consider Freeman more than a No. 2 quarterback and matchup-based starter in 2013 drafts.

 Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys: I would be absolutely shocked if the Cowboys didn't extend Romo at some point in the offseason, but as it stands the veteran is set to become a free agent in 2014. He's already coming off a successful season in the stat sheets, as Romo threw for a career-best 4,903 yards and found the end zone a total of 29 times. He's also thrown for 4,000-plus yards in each of his last three full seasons. Romo will be a popular target for fantasy leaguers who decide to wait on a quarterback in 2013 drafts, as the depth at the position could keep Romo on the board until the fifth round or beyond. Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons: Ryan is coming off the best statistical season of his entire career, throwing for 4,719 yards with 33 total touchdowns while also finishing among the top eight overall players based on fantasy points. The Falcons are certain to keep their offensive leader around for a long time, but he could still have some extra motivation if he weren't extended and remains slated to become a free agent after the 2013 season. Much like Romo, Ryan could slide a round or two in countless drafts based on the immense depth at the top of the quarterback position (from a fantasy perspective).

 With that in mind, here's a look at the most notable players who are slated to become free agents in 2014. 

Michael Vick, QB, Philadelphia Eagles: Vick, the top fantasy quarterback in 2010, has seen his production and value both slide over the last two seasons. And while he's no longer an elite option from a fantasy perspective, Vick has seen a slight increase in appeal as the projected No. 1 quarterback in the offense of new coach Chip Kelly. Now playing on a one-year deal for all intents and purposes, Vick will have a lot of incentive to put up solid totals next season. His proneness to injuries is a major cause for concern and will keep him from being drafted as a fantasy starter, but Vick is intruiging nonetheless. Steven Jackson, RB, St. Louis Rams: Jackson is in a different scenario than most players on this list, as the final year of his current contract is voidable. That means he could end up being a free agent this offseason. Until that happens, the veteran out of Oregon State is slated to hit the market in 2014 - assuming he continues as an NFL player. During an interview earlier this year, Jackson admitted that "retirement is an option." If he does return to the gridiron, whether it's with the Rams or otherwise (the Green Bay Packers have been mentioned), Jackson will remain a legitimate No. 2 fantasy running back. 

Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars: Jones-Drew is coming off an injury-plagued season that saw him hold out of training camp before missing 10 games with an injured foot that required a surgical procedure. Barring any setbacks in his return, "Pocket Hercules" will be singing for his supper out there on the gridiron. There's also been talk that new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch plans to install a zone-blocking scheme this season, so there will be some new schemes for Jones-Drew to learn. A risk-reward selection, the U.C.L.A. product will be well worth a look as a No. 2 fantasy back in 2013 drafts. Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders: It's tough to promote McFadden these days, as he's become a virtual lock to miss at least a few games every year due to injuries. In fact, he's never played in even 14 games in a single season during his pro career and has missed a combined 13 contest since 2011. So despite being motivated in a contract year and coordinator Greg Olsen's assertion that he will be highlighted in the offense, it's tough to trust McFadden as more than a No. 2 fantasy running back in 2013. Unlike last season, when he had first-round value, the veteran is likely to fall to the third or fourth round.

 Eric Decker, WR, Denver Broncos: Decker posted a career year in 2012 with Peyton Manning running the offense in Denver. After putting up just 50 catches in his first two seasons at the NFL level, the Minnesota product recorded 85 catches, 1,064 yards, scored 13 touchdowns and finished seventh in fantasy points among wide receivers. As long as Manning is calling the shots, Decker is going to be a legitimate starting option in fantasy land. So while it will be tough to duplicate the same number of end-zone visits again, the veteran will be tough to pass on in the third or fourth round as a high-end No. 2 wideout. James Jones, WR, Green Bay Packers: Jones might have had his best statistical season one year too early, as he's now heading into a contract year. Regardless, the fact that he scored 14 touchdowns and finished among the top 20 players at his position in 2012 does have his value on the rise. Jones is also expected to be in a position to see even more opportunities moving forward, as the Packers are not expected to retain the services of veteran Greg Jennings. I'm not sure that makes Jones more than a No. 3 or 4 fantasy wideout, but there is a lot to like about Jones and his chances to find continued success.

 Percy Harvin, WR, Minnesota Vikings: There has already been a lot of offseason talk surrounding Harvin, who is reportedly looking to be one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. Will the Vikings meet his demands or trade him instead? Could Harvin hold out if he remains stuck on his current deal? Those are all questions that still need to be answered. If the Florida product does go out there in the final year of his contract, it will do nothing but make him more attractive from a fantasy perspective. After all, he's a former top-10 fantasy wideout with major statistical upside at the age of just 24.

 Hakeem Nicks, WR, New York Giants: Nicks has the talent to be a No. 1 fantasy wideout, but his proneness to injuries has put a dent into his draft value. After all, he missed several games in 2012 and finished out of the top 50 wideouts based on fantasy points. He should be motivated to stay on the field and produce this season, though, as Nicks is entering a contract year and will need to prove that he can be leaned on as Eli Manning's top option in the Giants' pass attack.

Also keep in mind that Victor Cruz is a restricted free agent in 2013, so the G-Men will need to make a decision on both of their top receivers. Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints: One of the unquestioned top tight ends in fantasy football, Graham led the position in points last season and is set to be an early-round selection in 2013 drafts. Of course, that assumes he has no setbacks in his return from an offseason wrist operation. Once he's back at 100 percent and out there on the gridiron, Graham will be motivated to continue his success in the stat sheets as he'll set to become a free agent in 2014. It's hard to envision a scenario where the Saints would let such a talented member of their offense hit free agency, so keep tabs on his contract situation.


Other notables Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears Donald Brown, RB, Indianapolis Colts Dexter McCluster, RB, Kansas City Chiefs Marcel Reece, RB, Oakland Raiders Ben Tate, RB, Houston Texans Michael Turner, RB, Atlanta Falcons Beanie Wells, RB, Arizona Cardinals Anquan Boldin, WR, Baltimore Ravens Kenny Britt, WR, Tenenssee Titans Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Oakland Raiders Brandon LaFell, WR, Carolina Panthers Jeremy Maclin, WR, Philadelphia Eagles Mario Manningham, WR, San Francisco 49ers Santana Moss, WR, Washington Redskins Golden Tate, WR, Seattle Seahawks Mike Williams, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jermichael Finley, TE, Green Bay Packers Tony Moeaki, TE, Kansas City Chiefs Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Detroit Lions Sebastian Janikowski, K, Oakland Raiders Michael Fabiano is an award-winning fantasy football analyst on NFL.com and NFL Network and a member of the Fantasy

Darrelle Revis trade could mean two high picks for Jets

Whether coach Rex Ryan cops to it or not, the New York Jets are looking to trade Darrelle Revis.

The real question is whether the Jets can find a team willing to pay the price for the star cornerback.

Offseason Forecast: Jets

With the offseason under way, Around The League examines what's next for all 32 teams. Dan Hanzus breaks down the Jets. More ...

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport spoke with two general managers in an effort to get a ballpark price on what the Jets might be able to get for Revis on the trade market. Both GMs believed New York could fetch a 2013 first-round pick and a 2014 conditional pick that would be a second-rounder or better.

Rapoport said Wednesday on "NFL Total Access" that the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons are not interested in Revis, despite reports connecting Revis to the teams.

The Falcons are focusing on their own free agents, while a Niners source gave a succinct summation of the reports: "Don't believe any of that crap."

Given Revis' trade price, contract wishes and uncertain health status, don't be surprised if the Jets struggle to find a
