Season breakdown: In his final year at Duke, Buckmire posted a similar stat line to previous seasons and provided an exciting moment near the end of a blowout victory. The Pennsylvania native scored his only points of the season on a putback layup during the Blue Devils’ 79-53 win against Clemson back in January, a fitting end to what was one of Duke’s most impressive displays of the ACC slate. Interestingly, another one of Buckmire’s appearances came near the end of the first half in a road loss to Virginia Tech earlier that month, albeit for less than a minute. While Buckmire never had a breakout game a la Justin Robinson, he remained a fan favorite and a valuable leader within the program.

Last year was a hectic one for every track and field program in the country, but the Blue Devils dealt with a unique challenge outside of COVID-19.

The Milwaukee native missed three games due to a foot injury between December and January and even after returning has seen his playing time decrease in recent contests, including playing just eight minutes Saturday against N.C. State.
