Moore averaged 36.5 points and seven rebounds as Montevallo picked up a win in GSC play. The senior forward shot 88 percent (7-for-8) from the field and 78 percent (7-for-9) at the line for 22 points in a 101-83 loss to Valdosta State. He then set a program record for points with 51 and tied the program record for made free throws with 20, while adding eight rebounds in a 97-87 win ending West Florida's nine-game win streak. This is Moore’s second GSC Player of the Week award of the 2025-26 season as he also earned it Dec. 2.

He was later named the Division II Men's Basketball National Player of the Week as presented by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and NCAA Division II Conference Information Directors Association (D2CIDA). As a result, Moore is the GSC's first NABC/D2CIDA National Player of the Week winner this season and the third all-time. He is also the school’s first player to earn national weekly recognition since Braxton Bertolette garnered D2CIDA honors on February 28, 2023.
