Two of the Arizona Wildcats’ villains from last season are joining forces.
LJ Figueroa, who scored 21 points to help St. John’s beat the Wildcats last December in San Francisco, announced Saturday that he is transferring to the Oregon Ducks (whom the UA lost to in overtime twice in 2020).
The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game in 2018-19 for St. John’s as a sophomore. In two seasons with the Red Storm, Figueroa started 66 games and shot 37.3 percent from 3-point range.
