Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The University of Florida's Olivier Rioux, who already is certified as the world's tallest teen, made more history with a dunk for his first collegiate field goal.
The 7-foot-9 center, also the tallest player in college basketball history, slammed home the basket in a 102-61 thrashing of the Saint Francis Red Flash on Wednesday in Gainesville, Fla. Rioux, 19, played just two minutes.
"We were just going crazy," Gators guard Xavien Lee, who scored a team-high 18 points, told reporters when asked about the dunk.
The Gators led 100-59 with about 50 seconds remaining when Alex Kovatchev threw a pass into the right corner for fellow guard C.J. Ingram. Ingram immediately bounced the ball into the paint as Rioux ran there.
