Texas center Cameron Ridley broke a bone in his left foot during practice Sunday and will have surgery Tuesday, the school announced Monday.

Ridley will be out indefinitely.

Ridley, the most recent Big 12 player of the week, has been a driving force for the Longhorns under first-year coach Shaka Smart. In Texas' victories against Appalachian State and Stanford last week, Ridley averaged 14.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 6.5 blocks.

The 6-9 senior averages 12.7 points and 10 rebounds a game for the Longhorns (8-3), who host Connecticut on Tuesday.

Texas has won six in a row, including a victory against North Carolina.
