ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan says forward Ekpe Udoh is leaving after two seasons with the Wolverines but hasn't yet decided wheat school he'll attend next.

Coach John Beilein announced the move in a news release Monday and says he'll miss Udoh "as a person and as a player."

Udoh says it was a "very difficult decision" but isn't giving details on the reasons behind the move. Michigan was 10-22 last season.

Udoh came to the Wolverines from Edmond, Okla., and didn't miss a game in 67 consecutive contests, starting 31 times. He averaged 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.
