BRONX, N.Y. - After anchoring the Fordham men's basketball team to its finest season in decades, Darius Quisenberry and Khalid Moore have been recognized by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association for their efforts.  Quisenberry earned a spot on the All-Met First Team while Moore found a place on the All-Met Second Team.
 
Quisenberry, the Rams' leading scorer this past season at 16.9 points per game, becomes the first Fordham player to earn a spot on the top All-Met squad since Bryant Dunston was named to the first team in 2008. This year also marks the first time since 2008 that Fordham has produced multiple All-Met picks, as Marcus Stout grabbed a spot on the All-Met Third Team following the 2007-08 campaign. 
 
Quisenberry and Moore will be recognized at the 90^th MBWA Haggerty Awards dinner on Thursday night at the Sleepy Hollow Hotel & Conference Center in Tarrytown, N.Y.
 
In his second and final season with the program, the graduate student reached double figures 28 times in 32 chances with 12 20-point outings; Fordham went 11-1 in games.  Quisenberry also finished second on the team and 13^th in the A-10 with 3.2 assists per contest while pacing the team and ranking fifth in the league with a 1.9 assist-to-turnover ratio.  A Second Team All-Atlantic 10 and a Second Team NABC All-District selection, the Springfield, Ohio, native fell just 39 points shy of eclipsing the 1,000-point mark in just two years with the Rams.  Over his five-year collegiate career spanning 138 games, Quisenberry scored 2,174 points.
 
Moore, a graduate transfer from Georgia Tech, finished second on the squad in scoring with 15.7 points per game and grabbed a team-high 6.7 boards per outing.  Moore, a product of Elmont, N.Y., and Archbishop Molloy High School, ranked second on the team in both field goal percentage (48.6%) and 3-point field goal percentage (35.1%) while connecting on 77.1 percent of his free throws.  Moore, a 1,000-point scorer for his five-year collegiate career, poured in 519 points in 2022-23 after totaling 510 points in four seasons with the Yellow Jackets.  
 
During their relatively brief Rose Hill tenures, Quisenberry and Moore helped change the culture and trajectory of the Fordham men's basketball program.  The 2022-23 Rams finished with a record of 25-8, matching the second-highest win total in program history behind only the legendary 1970-71 team that went 26-3.  The Rams' 25 wins were the most since the 1990-91 team also finished the season with a 25-8 mark.  Fordham went 12-6 in the Atlantic 10, setting new high-water marks for both wins and winning percentage in the program's nearly three decades of league membership.  After earning its highest-ever seed in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, the Rams advanced to the semifinals of the conference championship for just the second time and the first since 2006.
