Fall, a 7-foot-6 freshman, went 8 for 8 from the floor and the Knights (12-16, 6-11 American Athletic Conference) held on as their 17-point second-half lead was trimmed to four with less than three minutes to go. Their last victory came Feb. 4 - also against the Green Wave.

Adonys Henriquez added 16 points for UCF and was 4 of 8 from 3-point range. Daiquan Walkers poured in game-high 20 points as the Knights shot 44.1 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Green Wave, 50-31.
