Florida’s 7-Foot-9 Olivier Rioux Makes Notable Debut at New School

Olivier Rioux no longer plays for the Florida Gators. That hasn’t changed how good Florida is on the basketball court, and it wasn’t expected to — the Gators played on the opening night of the college basketball season on Monday and took on a ranked Miami team. Florida won by 10 points to open the campaign successfully while being the preseason No. 1 team in the country. Rioux, the 7-foot-9 center, spent two seasons with Florida.
