Anderson and Moore were honored in a pregame ceremony Friday before playing in their final home games as Urban Knights. Moore led ART U (7-16, 5-12 PacWest) with a game-high 15 points while Anderson poured in 10. Moore also had a game-best six rebounds and five assists, and it was a Moore 3-pointer that started the Knights' final victorious push in the second half.
 
Academy of Art set a single-game school record with 11 3-pointers made, but Notre Dame de Namur (4-20, 3-15 PacWest) erased a 12-point Academy of Art lead in the second-half and even took a four-point lead of its own before ART U tied it at 48-48.
 
NDNU again took a 50-48 lead with two Don Washington free throws, but that's when Moore hit his third 3-pointer of the game to give the Urban Knights the lead for good at 51-50 and start a 17-5 game-winning run over the final 6 1/2 minutes.
 
Reigning PacWest Freshman of the Week Jase Harrison followed Moore with a trey of his own to make it six straight ART U points. Six different Urban Knights scored points during the run, including three bench players as the ART U bench outscored NDNU's reserves 23-8.
 
Junior forward Nick Cary was Academy of Art's third double-figure scorer with 11 points, including three 3-pointers. Four players hit at least two treys for ART U as the Urban Knights shot 52.4 percent (11-for-21) from downtown.
 
Notre Dame de Namur also had three players score in double figures led by James Northup's 15 points. Washington had 14, and the PacWest's third-best scorer entering Friday, Jalen Young, was held to 10 points and five rebounds. 15 of NDNU's 16 turnovers as a team came from its starters.
 
Moore's 15 points moved him into third on the ART U all-time career scoring list with 811 points. He needs 17 more points to move into second all-time and would need 66 points over the final three games of the season to set a new career scoring record.
 
Academy of Art heads to Hawaii next week for its final games of the season. The road trip begins Tuesday at Hawaii-Hilo.
