They say "do it with pictures", so the prediction is in and it says Louisville will win the first semifinal game tonight against the Wichita State Shockers and earn the right to play for the NCAA Mens Basketball title next Monday night.
The "Ware" referred to in the article's headline is Louisville reserve guard Kevin Ware, who suffered a gruesome leg injury in the Midwest Regional finals win over Duke. He will be on the sidelines rooting for his teammates to beat the Shockers and advance to the NCAA finals.
Though the loss of Ware serves as a source for inspiration for his teammates and fans, it also creates a depth issue for the Cardinals. He was their first substitute off the bench at guard, which provided needed rest for starters Russ Smith and Peyton Siva.
Wichita State enters the game as the tournament's "Cinderella" team. They fearlessly marched through the West Regional and beat Ohio State to earn a Final Four spot. Led by guard Malcolm Armstead, the Shockers will keep the game close but lose to the more talented Cardinals.
