France walloped Iceland 114-74 on Thursday to finish the group stages in style at the European basketball championships.
They led 36-9 after the first quarter and maintained their dominance to reach half-time with a 66-34 advantage at the Spodek Arena in Katowice.
As the game wound down in the fourth quarter, Bilal Coulibaly netted the shot that took the team past the 100-point mark.
France qualified for the last-16 knockout stages before Tuesday's game against Poland. They went into Thursday afternoon's tie trailing pacesetters Israel and Poland in the Group D rankings.
Though the mauling took them top of the pool, they will only keep the spot if Israel and Poland lose to Slovenia and Belgium respectively on Thursday evening.
However, should France finish top of Group D, they will play the fourth best team from Group C.
Bosnia and Herzegovina advanced from that pool to the last-16 after beating Georgia 84-76.
It is only the second time since the country gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1992 that Bosnia and Herzegovina has reached the latter stages of the European championships.
Defending champions Spain lie third going into their game on Thursday night against the Group C leaders Greece.
"We played a great game but not good enough," said Spain wing Santi Aldama after Tuesday's defeat to Italy.
"We took good shots and missed some we would normally make," added the 24-year-old. "I think we did a pretty decent job. We have another game so we just have to go out there and die against Greece."
After pool matches in Poland, Finland, Cyprus and Latvia, the knockout stages will be held between 6 and 14 September in the Latvian capital Riga.
