"Duke and UNC both take big man losses today."
Amile Jefferson out indefinitely with a foot.
Kennedy Meeks out at least two weeks with a knee.
Hopefully Duke gets Amile back by mid-January. When the 16th hits, that schedule gets brutal in a hurry-- and we have no big man depth to make up for the loss of our most important player on both ends of the floor in the paint.
UNC should be fine without Meeks, because offensively they've got enough firepower to make up for it, and Meeks is a really terrible defender. Still, Meeks is the type of guy who can give you 15-20, and having him off the court definitely hurts their depth some.
