During Oregon's 91-63 win over UC Irvine, photographer Brian Davies captured an amazing photo of Oregon point guard Johnathan Loyd being guarded by a player who is nearly two feet taller.
Mamadou Ndiaye of UC Irvine is a freshman from Senegal and is listed a 7-foot-6 while Loyd is just 5-foot-8. Ndiaye is the tallest active basketball player in either the NBA or college basketball and is averaging 8.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game.
