veteran UIC guard with proven toughness and timely scoring
Chris Buchanan is a 6-foot-3 guard who gave UIC a physical, bench-to-starter spark in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, including 11-point games and a first-career start where he scored 11 against Valparaiso in the 2009-10 season. He stood out as a steady, hard-nosed connector rather than a volume scorer, with the kind of edge, composure, and opportunistic finishing coaches love in a role guard. If you need backcourt grit and reliable, low-drama production, he’s the type who fits.
