LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Seth Curry, the high-scoring younger brother of Davidson star Stephen Curry, says he is transferring out of Liberty to seek a higher level of competition.
Curry, 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds, led the nation's freshman with a 20.2 scoring average.
Liberty went 23-12 this season, finishing with an 88-65 loss to James Madison on Monday night in the CollegeInsider.com tournament. Curry scored eight points in the loss.
"This is a difficult decision that I have reached after close consultation with my family and others close to me," he said in a statement released through the school.
He said the decision "is based on my desire to develop as an athlete to the fullest of my potential and take advantage of new opportunities that may be available to me in a higher-rated conference."
There was no indication in the release whether Curry has already decided where to transfer, and the school said Curry would not have any additional comment Tuesday.
Coaches at other schools are not permitted to comment on potential transfers.
Liberty coach Ritchie McKay said he's disappointed with Curry's decision but understands and does not fault him for seeking to play against a higher level of competition.
Like his brother, who is one of the best-known players in college basketball, the younger Curry splashed onto the scene as a scorer.
He scored 23 and 18 points in his first two college games and then had 26 as the Flames won 86-82 at Virginia, just their second victory in eight games in the series.

I think he's witnessing the drawback for his brother in small program... Davidson has a bad outing in conf. tourney... no big dance... there will be big east schools lining up for him i suspect.

This feels like dating the cute flat chested girl with braces and glasses that was a little bit "ehh" your freshman year in high school then she dumps you junior year for the quarterback when she loses the braces, gets contacts, and is a C-cup.

Re: Curry to transfer from Liberty
making a stupid move I think. His brother made a name by playing head and shoulders above those around him. Learning to become an elite player. Being the main guy helped him grow. If Seth moves to another school, he might just be another kid and never end up shining.

UNI has a couple open schollies for next year. If he is willing to be part of a team that is looking like the front runner in the best Mid Major Conference in America

He has just left himself to be on the new BB staff at UVaLiberty coach Ritchie McKay said he's disappointed with Curry's decision but understands and does not fault him for seeking to play against a higher level of competition.
