"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Louisville sophomore Kevin Ware arrived at the Final Four on crutches less than a week after breaking his leg. (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though injured Louisville guard Kevin Ware cannot climb a ladder, he will be able to cut down the nets if Louisville wins the national championship on Monday night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Cardinals prevail over Michigan, the NCAA plans to lower the baskets so that Ware -- who suffered a compound fracture in his right leg eight days ago -- can participate in the annual rite, according to &lt;em&gt;USA Today&lt;/em&gt;'s Rachel George.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"We're prepared for whatever Louisville would like to do,\" David Worlock, the NCAA's associate director for championships and alliances and the media coordinator for the Division I championship, told &lt;em&gt;USA Today&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ware attended high school in Rockdale County, Ga., about 20 miles outside of Atlanta, where the game is being played.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rest of Ware's teammates will climb a special ladder made for the Final Four's 75th anniversary if they win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From George's report:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rest of his teammates will have a chance to cut the nets down on a commemorative ladder made by the NCAA's partner, Werner. One side of the ladders includes an engraved plate for each national championship team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 9-foot ladder is made to accommodate net cutting. The company doesn't make any others that height.\nThe winning team will have a plate added for their run and receive the ladder. Another will be sent to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
