UCF 7-foot-6 sophomore sensation Tacko Fall posted his fifth double-double of the season, recording a team-high 17 points and a career-high 17 rebounds Monday night at CFE Arena.
But his performance wasn't enough to overcome the Knights' flubs during a 58-49 loss to Penn (4-5). It was UCF's (7-2) first home loss of the season.
The Knights' guards struggled to find Fall in the second half, allowing the big man to touch the ball just twice after leading the team with 14 points and nine rebounds at halftime.
UCF coach Johnny Dawkins said the Quakers did a good job fronting and bringing help on the weak side, which made it difficult for guards to push the ball toward Fall.
