Duke's Zoubek Out Indefinitely With Broken Foot


Duke Center Brian Zoubek has broken his foot, and is out indefinitely. That's bad news for Duke because, even though many Duke fans think that Zoubek is a big stiff, Zoubek is the only legitimate big man Duke has. Lance Thomas doesn't play strong and Kyle Singler is tall, but isn't really at home in the paint.

Sunday night, Duke had a tougher time dispensing with Cornell than they should have. A big reason for that was because Duke struggled with Cornell's seven foot Freshman Center. That kid was skinny and raw (not to mention poorly conditioned), but Duke couldn't keep him off the block or off the boards. His presence was enough to keep Cornell hanging in that game (which is all the more startling, considering that Cornell's Point Guard seemingly did everything in his power to hand an easy win to Duke).

Good luck with Tyler Hansbrough and North Carolina.

Zoubek is a stiff. And he was the best big man that Puke had.

Psycho-T is going to eat the Pukies alive. Rat Face will probably send his goons (Henderson) to take him out again.

Can't wait.
