Baylor's Al Freeman to pursue graduate transfer

Baylor guard Al Freeman is planning to graduate and transfer out of the program, he told Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

Freeman was a significant contributor for the Bears this season, averaging more than nine points a game in 23 minutes. The junior starred in Baylor's first-round win over New Mexico State in the NCAA tournament, scoring a team-high 21 points off the bench.

As a graduate transfer, Freeman will be able to play immediately and will have one year of eligibility remaining.
