With Saturday possibly being Ira Lee’s last game in McKale Center, he will start for Arizona vs. Washington, a Senior Day courtesy that Sean Miller also afforded to Jordin Mayes in 2014 and Matt Korcheck in 2015.
Lee deserves it. He is only the eighth player in the Miller era to sign with Arizona out of high school and stay for four seasons. He’s overcome plenty of obstacles, including a lack of playing time, a DUI, a postseason ban, and the FBI investigation that put the UA program in turmoil during the 2017-18 season, Lee’s freshman year.
