Tacko should not have run his mouth.

Ah...he didn't. Zion even mentioned how Tacko was ASKED that question...and said what else was he going to say? "Zion is gonna dunk on me 10 times on Sunday"?

Tacko has gone on and on how Zion is a top player but he views it as a challenge and said its not about him vs Zion....he has said its about UCF vs Duke.

Zion has talked about what a great player Tacko is for a player his size....both players have been great examples of being a representative of their school.

Lol he didn’t run his mouth. He got asked if Zion was going to dunk on him. As Zion said, what is he supposed to say? lol. He was extremely complimentary of Zion and effusive with praise for him.

Took the Knights and the points. Let's go UCF!!!!

This game gonna be sooooo nasty. Both Tacko and Zion are gonna get ejected today.

Good find. I recommend all AAC fans watch the interview.

So you are saying he fouls out in first 10 minutes?

If Tacko picks up 2 fouls in the first half...odds are he stays on the bench till the 2nd half...and by then, it could be too late.

Refs will play a HUGE part in this game...but I hope they call the game similar as to the VCU game...where they allowed a lot of contact from both teams. (One of those refs from the VCU game called multiple games this year with UCF...as its usually those that never officiated a game with Tacko before that "fall" for the anticipated fouls).

Sounds to me like a pro-UCF cheating ref.

Agree.

Good luck ucf give em hell! Duke can be beaten get to that sweet 16

I'll wager that you only need to watch the first 5 minutes of this game to see the ultimate outcome.

Duke is one of the worse three point shooting teams in the country (339th out of 353 teams or 30.2%). Pack the defense in, funnel into Tacko, and vigorously pursue defensive rebounds. Make Duke beat you from three.

This is why Duke will pound the ball inside until Fall picks up fouls.

easier said than done...we would have all done this if it was that easy, but most of the teams that beat ucf just relied on the 3 ball and short jumpers

Fall’s teamates have to help protect Fall like an escort task force protects an aircraft carrier. And Tacko has to play smart.

I do not see any better alternative strategy.

Fall's teammates have to help protect Fall like a pimp protects his prized hooker. And Tacko has to perform well.

This is the best strategy.

UCF is getting some serious props right now on CBS Great publicity for the school and taco Fall
