Buff Notes on CU, Nuggets curse

It must be in the air.

Down the road in Denver, Kenyon Martin is out for the season for the Nuggets and Nene is on the shelf temporarily. Now in Boulder, CU has lost a big man, too, as freshman center Marc Van Burck is out for four to six weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot, according to a Daily Camera report.

It's not like the Buffs have Marcus Camby or Joe Smith in reserve either. Losing the opportunity to develop Van Burck in practice is not what coach Ricardo Patton needs on the heels of a 41-point thumping at the hands of the Miami Heat, um, I mean New Mexico Lobos.

CU might have an exciting, successful season, but it's starting out in a manner where it looks like it could replicate the football team's year.
