Tacko Fall<\/a>, who came into Sunday shooting just 47.1 percent from the free throw line.<\/p>\nThe 7-foot-6 big man stepped to the line with two seconds on the clock and hit both from the stripe to put the game away.<\/p>\n
“I work on those free throws every day regardless of the situation,” Fall said. “It’s the same shot I take every day on the same court. It was just a routine shot. I just tried to make those shots and win the game.”<\/p>\n
The Bearcats’ final heave was off the mark and the court storming ensued.\u00a0 The Knights improved to 19-10 overall and 10-7 in American Athletic Conference play, and 女仆AV is now in sole possession of fourth place in the league standings.<\/p>\n
The win marked just the fourth ever victory for UCF over a ranked opponent and the first since the Knights defeated No. 4 UConn in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament on Nov. 25, 2011.\u00a0 It was the second win over a ranked opponent at home and the first at CFE Arena.<\/p>\n
Taylor led the Knights with 27 points, while Fall and A.J. Davis added seven each.\u00a0 Nick Banyard led UCF with 10 rebounds, his third straight game with double-digit boards.\u00a0 Fall, dominant defensively all day, added four blocks and is now just one shy of tying and two away from breaking the UCF single-season record.<\/p>\n
