Transferring from Pittsburgh to Arizona has been everything Ryan Luther thought it would be.
“Maybe even more,” the fifth-year senior said Monday. “Just a great group of guys, great group of coaches and the school and fans in general. ... The weather’s completely different out here. This is nice.”
It was an interesting comment because Luther’s role at Arizona, contrary to what he says, has not been what most expected it would be.
Most assumed Luther would start for the Wildcats. After all, the 6-foot-9 forward averaged a double-double at Pittsburgh last season and Arizona had a major void to fill at the 4, after losing Deandre Ayton to the NBA Draft and not having much returning talent to replace him.
