Duke ucf basketball Zion Williamson Johnny Dawkins taco fall tacko falls Mike Krzyzewski
Tacko Fall guaranteed it would not happen. On Saturday, ahead of UCF's rubber match against No. 1 seed Duke, he made a promise that Blue Devils freshman Zion Williamson wouldn't get him on the wrong side of a posterizing dunk.
He was right.
The two met at the rim several times in Sunday's game, and more often than not, it was Fall meeting Williamson's attempt and promptly swatting it back his direction. The first attempt happened early as Williamson tested Fall on the block, and Fall's 7-foot-6 frame stood there and denied it.
Later, it happened again, and it was both a block and a minor assault that went uncalled on the floor.
The third time it happened, it appeared to be a similar occurrence.
All three of Fall's swats came against Williamson, and he made his presence felt on offense as well by finishing just about everything around the paint. He lived up to his pregame promise, and as a result, No. 1 overall seed Duke was in serious trouble but found a way to advance with a one-point victory
