The 6-foot-8 wing appeared in 35 games as a freshman, averaging 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 13.2 minutes. Aristode missed a portion of the Big 12 season with an illness.
Aristode struggled to get back into a rhythm after being absent and played sparingly in the NCAA Tournament.
He reached double figures in scoring three times, all coming against mid major opponents in non-conference play.
Aristode’s strong defense and long wingspan should suit him well at Oregon. The Ducks are coming off a 12-20 season including a 5-15 record in the Big Ten.
Oregon coach Dana Altman hadn’t experienced a losing record since 1995-96, his second year at Creighton. The Ducks have missed the NCAA Tournament in three of the last five years.
Aristode is the second Arizona transfer to find a destination this season, after joined Sidi Gueye joined Santa Clara. Aristode and Gueye are the only Wildcats to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
