Daniel Moore Indiana University Basketball Career
Daniel Moore came to Bloomington, Ind. to play for head coach Tom Crean and the Indiana Hoosiers. Moore joined as a walk-on for a team consisting of 12 freshmen, one sophomore, two juniors and one senior. The Hoosiers were in rebuilding mode as head coach Tom Crean came in to bring the program back from NCAA sanctions following the actions of former coach Kelvin Sampson.
Moore played in all 31 games his freshman season and started 10 of them. The walk-on got his first start in the Maui Invitational against Notre Dame where he recorded two points and three assists. He averaged 2.5 points and 2.5 assists in 17.2 minutes per game. The Carmel, Ind. native shot 43% from the field while going 4-for-11 from the three-point line for 36 percent.
As Crean started to build the roster how he wanted it with recruiting, Moore’s time on the court declined. Recruits such as Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford and Victor Oladipo made big names for themselves in the program. However, Moore did not let that stop him from being a key member of the team.
In his sophomore season, he led the team in free throw percentage at 82 percent, missing just three free throws on the season.
Moore earned a scholarship during his senior season and after going 28-66 his first three seasons the Hoosiers shocked the college basketball world during the 2011-2012 season.
Indiana started the season with 12 straight wins and defeated No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State. The Hoosiers finished fifth in the Big Ten and went on to play in the Sweet 16 before losing to the Wildcats in a rematch.
