Moore attended Cloverdale High School in Cloverdale, Indiana. As a senior, he averaged 36.8 points per game and scored 1,033 points, the third-most in a single season in state history.[1] His 2,440 career points ranked 11th in state history.[2]
College career[]
Moore began playing college basketball at Olney Central College. He averaged 19.3 points and 7.8 assists per game as a freshman.[3] In his sophomore season, he averaged 22.6 points, 6.2 assists and five rebounds per game. He was a Third Team National Junior College Athletic Association Division I All-American and an All-Great Rivers Athletic Conference selection.[4]
For his junior season, Moore moved to the NCAA Division I, transferring to Oakland.[5] He was drawn there in part due the success Kay Felder, another undersized point guard, had with the program.[6] On January 8, 2021, Moore scored 33 points in an 84–81 loss to Green Bay in overtime.[7] On January 16, he posted 31 points and 12 assists in an 81–74 win over Youngstown State.[8] Six days later, Moore recorded 18 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds in an 86–81 victory over Detroit Mercy, the first triple-double by an Oakland player since Felder in 2016.[9] He averaged 17.9 points, a Division I-leading 8.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game.[10] Moore was named to the First Team All-Horizon League.[11]
