Dusan Ristic’s senior year has been ‘something special’
When Dusan Ristic tagged along with Sean Miller to Pac-12 Media Day in October, little did he know he was putting undue pressure on himself.
“I told him that in the nine years that I’ve gone to Pac-12 Media Day, I’ve never taken a player who didn’t become an All-Conference player,” Miller said.
Ristic seemed intrigued by that factoid, Miller recalls.
Maybe it seemed like Miller was setting a lofty goal — Ristic had never even been an honorable mention in his first three seasons at Arizona — but now it’s as if the Arizona Wildcats coach was making a bold prediction.
Because if the 2017-18 season ended today, Ristic probably would be an All-Conference player.
