UCF's 7'6" center Tacko Fall's mother watched him play for the first time on Thursday during the Knights' victory over No. 20 Cincinnati. Until this week, Fall hadn't seen his mother in seven years since he came to the United States from Senegal at 16 years old.
Fall was escorted to center court by his mother, his brother and his host parents.
The big man finished as the team's second-highest scorer on the night with 10 points. He added six boards, three blocks and an assist during UCF's 58–55 win. He is averaging 11.3 points, 7.
