Clemson legend Greg Buckner knows a thing or two about playing in the NCAA Tournament.
A four-year starter for the Tigers from 1994-98, Buckner started all 122 games of his career while helping the team to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances. He led the team in scoring all four years of his career and guided Clemson to a Sweet 16 trip in 1997.
Now, Greg’s son – Clemson redshirt freshman guard Ace Buckner – is getting ready to play in the NCAA Tournament for the first time.
After not getting to play for Clemson in the NCAA Tournament last season while redshirting, Ace will make his debut in “the Big Dance” on Friday (6:50, TNT) when the eighth-seeded Tigers take on No.
