While Zoubek isn’t the most athletic big man, he is a huge presence and he has earned Krzyzewski’s praise on many occasions when press members were asking about other players.

The reason being that Zoubs as he is known to his teammates, has had several games where he had or was near a double-double in scoring and rebounding in limited minutes.

As the Plumlee’s develop, Zoubek and Thomas will be looked to for toughness and leadership.

There is no reason to think Zoubek cannot relish his role as a senior down the stretch and if that happens Duke will be a tough team to handle.

Zoubs senior teammate Lance Thomas is Duke’s equivalent of the Energizer Bunny for the energy and hustle he brings to the court.

that's all good stuff, but they gotta at least put SOME points on the board...

I read somewhere that the goal of the staff is to get 30/20 outta our bigs every game.

BTW, that's 30 points and 20 rebounds, not 30 fouls and 20 turnovers...
