Isn’t UCF better without Tacko?

Tough break for the kid and UCF. Sorry to hear this.

This. Nothing more need be said.

And on a personal level, just a few days before I was going to watch him play, been looking forward to that for quite awhile.

No...UCF's D is sooooo much better with TAcko in there...it totally changes the way opposing teams play.

When Tacko is in there..guards many times don't even try to drive the lane...even after they beat their man on the perimeter plus he does a solid job grabbing rebounds.

Without Tacko...teams attack the lane (like Cinci did when Tacko went out) because UCF turns into "just another team" with him on the bench.

Also...on offense...many times he gets doubled team down low...leaving someone open on the outside (this year UCF hasn't found a suitable replacement for Matt Williams...which is why the offense is struggling)
