According to sources, former Oregon sophomore forward Abu Kigab is set to transfer to Boise State to finish out his final two years of college basketball.

Kigab left the Oregon program earlier this week for what sources close to the Oregon basketball program say is looking for more playing time.

"I was disappointed Abu made the decision to leave," Altman said on Friday when asked about his transfer.

Kigab will have to sit out a full year before becoming eligible for the Broncos. If he enrolls at Boise State soon, he could become eligible at Christmas break during the 2019-20 season. The Ducks and the Broncos will play a game at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene next season.

Kigab averaged 2.6 points. 2.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 10 games this season for Oregon. In 45 career games, Kigab averaged 1.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9 minutes per game.

Earlier this week the Ducks also lost freshman center Bol Bol for the season due to a stress fracture in his left football and sophomore forward Kenny Wooten is still out with a broken jaw suffered in a game played before Christmas at Baylor.

The Oregon men's basketball program was voted a preseason favorite for the Pac-12 conference by the media and is currently unranked with a 9-4 record. The Ducks will open the Pac-12 season with a home game against the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday, January 5th. The Ducks will then play two more home games the following weekend against UCLA and USC. Their first road games of the Pac-12 season will be at Arizona and Arizona State in two weeks.
