— Arkansas freshman guard Nick Babb will transfer following the university's spring semester.

Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson announced the decision in a statement Thursday. Anderson said Babb's decision was based on playing time.

"Nick is a good kid and has done everything right in his time with our program," Anderson said.

Babb played in 26 games as a freshman, scoring 19 points and recording 20 rebounds. He was used minimally during the Razorbacks' conference season, but did score five points in a win over Georgia at the SEC Tournament last month.
