No. 2: Quinn Buckner (1972-1976)

Quinn Bucker was the floor general for the Indiana team that went two straight seasons (74-76) going undefeated in the regular season, and part of the 1976 National Championship team, the last undefeated team in NCAA history.

The 1976 Indiana team went on to be voted the greatest team in the 75 years of the NCAA tournament. He was also the Captain of the 1976 gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic Basketball team.

For his career, the four-year starter averaged 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists in 120 games.

He thrived off of his defensive and playmaking skills. Buckner stands third in all-time assists at Indiana. He was drafted 7th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks and enjoyed a decent NBA career, making it to four All-Defensive teams.
