Full List of NABC All-District Teams

FAIRFAX, Va. –
George Mason University men's basketball senior guard Marquise Moore has been named to the NABC District 4 First Team, the National Association of Basketball Coaches announced on Wednesday morning.
 
Moore is Mason's first all-district pick since Sherrod Wright in 2012-13. He is the first Patriot to earn first team all-district accolades since Ryan Pearson in 2011-12.
 
Moore is joined on the first team by Jaylen Adams (Saint Bonaventure), TJ Cline (Richmond), Jack Gibbs (Davidson) and JeQuan Lewis (VCU).
 
The District 4 second team is comprised of Charles Cooke (Dayton), Peyton Aldridge (Davidson), Scoochie Smith (Dayton), Matt Mobley (Saint Bonaventure) and B.J. Johnson (La Salle).
 
Moore recently put the finishing touches on one of the best all-around seasons by a guard in NCAA history. The Chris Daniels Atlantic 10 Most Improved Player led the Patriots in scoring (16.9 ppg), rebounding (10.9 rpg) and assists (3.5 apg) while shooting 48.3 percent from the floor.
 
His 20 double-doubles are tied for the most by a guard since the stat has been kept (2009-10), while his 10.9 rebounds/game and 9.1 defensive rebounds/contest are tops by all Div. I guards since the 1993-94 campaign. The 6-foot-2-inch guard ranked third in the nation in 2016-17 in defensive rebounding and was eighth in the nation in overall rebounding.
 
In addition to leading the conference in rebounding, Moore ranked ninth in the A-10 in scoring, eighth in minutes played, 11th in assists and 12th in field goal percentage. He posted 10+ points in 28 of 34 contests and 20+ points in 11 games. Moore also registered the first triple-double in George Mason history after a 17-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist performance at Penn on Dec. 10.
 
Moore led the Green & Gold to the first Atlantic 10 Tournament win in program history on March 9 vs. Fordham, tallying 25 points, a career-high 19 rebounds and five assists in the game. His 18.0 rebounds/game over the course of the tournament set an Atlantic 10 record and helped the senior garner A-10 All-Tournament accolades for the first time in his career.
 
Moore set a new Mason single-season rebounding record with 367 boards on the year. He ends his career seventh all-time at Mason in assists (363), seventh in free throws made (373), 12th in rebounding (694) and 21st in scoring (1270 points). He is the only player in Patriot history to post 1200+ points, 600+ rebounds and 300+ assists in a career.
 
Behind Moore's efforts, the Patriots put together a turnaround season in 2016-17. Mason set a new program record for Atlantic 10 victories (9) and its 20 overall wins were the most by the program since 2012-13. After winning 11 games total and five A-10 contests in 2015-16, Mason ranked as of the nation's 20 most improved teams this season.
