Former Maryland basketball player Cliff Tucker, who played for the Terps from 2007-2011, died in a car accident in Texas the morning of May 28.
El Paso's CBS affiliate first reported that Tucker was killed in a car accident, and Maryland later confirmed the news. Tucker was a passenger in a van whose rear tire blew out on Interstate-10, causing the vehicle to roll over, according to El Paso's NBC affiliate.
Tucker was 29.
Tucker averaged 6.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game during his career in College Park, Md. He totaled 782 points, 297 rebounds and 169 assists in 131 games. Tucker's teams made the NCAA Tournament twice during his four years, and the Terps won a share of the ACC regular-season title during the 2009-10 season.
