Canada's 19-year-old Oliver Rioux created history when the 7-foot-9-inch player featured for the Florida Gators in their NCAA men's Division 1 match against the North Florida Ospreys to become the tallest-ever college basketball player in history. Rioux entered the court with 2:09 minutes left in the ASUN Conference match, which ended with the Gators winning 106-64 over the Ospreys. Interestingly, Rioux did not even touch the ball during his time on the court, with North Florida keeping the ball away from the 7-foot-9-inch player's grasp. Denver Nuggets Beat Golden State Warriors in NBA Cup 2025; Nikola Jokic Stars As Stephen Curry-Less Warriors Suffer Defeat In Competition Opener.
