Arizona guard Gabe York (1) loses the ball while trying to drive between Wichita State guard Fred VanVleet (23) left, and guard Ron Baker (31) on a drive up the lane in the second half of their opening round game at the NCAA Regional, Dunkin' Donuts Center, Wednesday, March 17, 2016.

When former Arizona shooting guard Gabe York signed with Italy’s Vanoli Cremona last week, it put him in the same backcourt with Sean Miller’s top Xavier product, Tu Holloway. It also put him in the same league with Ndudi Ebi, who was Arizona’s top recruit in 2003. Ebi played briefly for the Minnesota Timberwolves and has since played for 16 overseas basketball teams from Egypt to China to Spain and Israel.
