MORROW, Ga. --- Tusculum College's Kyle Moore has been named to the 2010 Daktronics NCAA Division II All-Southeast Region Men's Basketball First Team announced officials Wednesday. Moore returns to the All-Region First Team for a second straight season.

Joining Moore on the All-Region First Team are Ben Madgen (Augusta State), Kendrick Easley (Mount Olive), Danny Sanders (Mars Hill) and Fred Braithwaite (Augusta State). With the first team selection, Moore advances to the Daktronics Division II All-American ballot, which will be announced later this month.

Five players were named to the All-Region Second Team, including D'Mario Curry (Lincoln Memorial), D.J. Blackmon (Lenoir-Rhyne), Antonio Houston (Catawba), Jonathan Whitson (Brevard) and Chris Woods (Pfeiffer).

Moore, a 6-3, 190-pound senior guard from Gainesville, Fla., was named the 2010 South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year for a second straight season as he led the league in scoring for a second straight year, averaging 24.8 points per game, which is currently third in NCAA Division II and fifth nationally for all NCAA divisions. Moore's scoring average is the second highest in league history and fifth in school history. Moore accounted for 693 points this year, while leading the Pioneers to a 16-12 record and 10-6 in league play to finish second in the conference standings for a second straight season. His point tally this year is the second most in recorded school history and third in the league record book.

The three-time All-SAC selection established a new school and SAC record with his 117 three-point field goals made this season. His 4.18 treys per game average are second in the country, while shooting 45.3 percent from beyond the arc (2nd in SAC/9th in NCAA II).

In just 87 games in a Pioneer uniform, Moore connected on 306 career three-point field goals, which are the most in conference history and the second-most ever by a Pioneer. He connected on 43 percent of his long-range attempts at Tusculum, which is the fourth-highest average in school history.

In his three seasons at Tusculum, Moore scored 1,813 points, ranking him fourth on the TC scoring list and the seventh-leading scorer in SAC history. He averaged 20.8 points per game at Tusculum, which is the third highest scoring average ever by a South Atlantic Conference player. Including his rookie campaign at NCAA Division I Winthrop University, Moore scored 1,863 points as a collegiate player.

Moore has been the model of consistency during his career, scoring 20 or more points an amazing 45 times in his three seasons at Tusculum, including 19 times this year. He has also poured in 30 or more points on 15 occasions, including 10 times this season. The Buchholz High School graduate was named SAC Player of the Week four times this season and nine times in the last two years combined.

The 2009 Division II All-American holds the school record with his 447 made free throws. While at Tusculum, Moore shot 85 percent from the foul line (447-of-526), which is the second highest career percentage in school history and third in SAC history. His .862 free throw percentage this season was second in the conference and 37th in the nation.

He finished his career at Tusculum similarly to how he started it at the charity stripe. He opened his TC career making his first 24 free throws. Moore finished the same way, connecting on his final 24 trips to the foul line. In his last 11 contests, Moore went 64-of-68 from the free throw line (94.1%), including a string of 33 in a row.
