Hoopsters leap 20 spots in RPI rankings to 18th, 11 spots in Sagarin to 47th

[UCFProf]

The difficult strength of schedule (30th) is what catapulted us above 27 schools with zero or one loss.
UCF is now 3-1 vs. top 100 schools.
Five other AAC schools make the RPI top 100: Temple (30), Cincy (36), Houston (60), and SMU (99)
Tacko 2nd in FG% and 3rd in rebounding, but only 20th in blocks because nobody challenges him.

What a gritty win in UCF's first tight game from start to finish against a talented UMass!
Did it with basically 6 guys playing almost all the minutes against 11 by UMass.
Tacko had to play his most minutes ever: 33!
Thank goodness, they get off for final exams week before an easier Sat. home game.

Thanks for the recap. I watched the entire game online and was rewarded with that last second shot to win. So many ups and downs. Yeah for the Win. Go Knights.
