TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona center Oumar Ballo has entered the transfer portal, leaving coach Tommy Lloyd with a huge hole to fill. Ballo started his career at Gonzaga under coach Mark Few and Lloyd, then an assistant. The 7-foot center followed Lloyd when he became Arizona's head coach in 2021 and became one of the nation's most improved players. Ballo averaged 12.9 points on 66% shooting and 10.1 rebounds on a team that went to the NCAA Tournament for the third straight year under Lloyd.
