Buie averaged 17.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.4
rebounds and 1.1 steals in 34 games this season while earning
first-team All-Big-Ten honors in voting by the media. He knocked
down 64 3-pointers while helping Northwestern reach the NCAA
Tournament for just the second time in program history.
"Northwestern basketball has given me so much -- even when
everyone believed we would be nothing," Buie said in his post on
Twitter. "It has given me teammates and brothers for life. It
has given me friendships and connections with coaches that will
last forever. I want to thank Coach (Chris) Collins and the rest
of his staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity
to play at the highest level when no one else did."
Overall, Buie has averages of 13.4 points, 3.9 assists and 2.6
rebounds in 115 games (94 starts) for the Wildcats. He has made
198 3-pointers and recorded 94 steals.
The success comes after Buie was a largely unwanted high school
player at Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine. The Wildcats were the
lone major program to offer him a scholarship.
"I didn't need anyone to believe in me, I believed in myself,"
Buie said.
