Giant Olivier Riou (2m36) scores his first basket in the NCAA
in november Olivier Rioux became, from a height of 2m36, the greatest player in history to ever play a college basketball game. Since then, the Quebecer has played very, very little, his coach Todd Golden only starting him when his team is way ahead… and supporters Florida Gators demand it.
That allowed him to score his first point, on free throws, in a big win against Merrimack a month ago. He hasn’t played since, but Florida’s “mascot” was allowed a few minutes against St. Francis, which the Gators largely dominated (102-61).
The fans demanded loudly, shouting “We want Oli!” » few minutes, Olivier Riouk could appear on the floor and score his first university basket!
Apparently, with a dunk, the world’s biggest teenager was able to unlock his NCAA score. Now the hardest part remains for the 19-year-old, which is to leave this “mascot” costume that has been used to celebrate big wins and become a full-fledged player in the Gators’ rotation.
