UC's Mick Cronin, Justin Jenifer on win over UCF, plus Johnny Dawkins Scott Springer, sspringer@enquirer.com
The numbers are simple enough, and they shouldn’t add up. Justin Jenifer is 5-foot-10 in his high-heeled sneakers. Tacko Fall is 7-foot-6. Door frames fear him. Shower heads cry.
With 3 minutes and 12 seconds to play in a taut, sloppy, important and altogether awesome game of college basketball, Justin Jenifer somehow scored a semi-hook over Tacko Fall. Jenifer drove right, but not right past, Fall. He launched the shot – how high? 15 feet? 20? – high enough to clear Tacko’s wingspan, his jump, his airspace.
