Alex Oriakhi will seek a transfer from UConn.

"Alex will transfer because of the NCAA tournament next year," Alex Oriakhi Sr. said.

Uconn faces a 2013 ban on playing in the NCAA tournament because of its sub-par academic progress rating.

Oriakhi, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound junior, averaged a career-low 21.5 minutes per game this past season.
