CINCINNATI -- Central Florida will present unique challenges for No. 11 Cincinnati on Wednesday night at Fifth Third Arena, not the least of which is 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall.
"There's no way to simulate (him) in practice, that's the issue," said Bearcats coach Mick Cronin, who considered having a player stand on a stool to mimic Fall's height.
Fall, from Senegal, averages 12.3 points, which ranks third on the team, and he paces the Knights with 9.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. He shoots 74.7 percent from the floor, which ranks No. 2 nationally.
A less-polished Fall scored two points with eight rebounds and three blocks in 20 minutes off the bench in last year's meeting in Orlando.
