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.

Interesting that he passed up offers from Davidson and Virginia Tech to only now sit out a year.
But his touches will reduce significantly if he goes to a good school. It'd be cool to see him go to the A-10, CAA, or MAAC though
