Tacko Fall's success gives UCF men's basketball a boost

It's far too early in the season for the UCF basketball team to claim an identity.

But Tacko Fall's recent performance in the Charleston Classic, where he delivered a career-high 26 points against Mississippi State, proved the Knights ceiling can be as high as the top of Fall's 7-foot-6 head.

UCF is off to a hot 3-1 start, falling 67-57 to defending national champion Villanova in the final round of the Charleston Classic. The Knights will host Seattle at CFE Arena Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The game will be streamed online at ESPN3.com.

"We felt pretty close [to a moral victory,] but we all have a sick feeling in our stomach because that was a good opportunity for us," UCF senior guard Matt Williams sad.
