Olivier Rioux could only watch Florida’s run to the national title last year. This time around, the tallest college basketball player ever can forever say that he contributed to whatever this chase of a repeat title ultimately amounts to this March Madness. The 7-foot-9 redshirt freshman yet again made history Friday night when he both entered and later scored during top-seeded Florida’s 114-55 demolition of 16th-seeded Prairie View A&M in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
