Hog basketball legend Oliver Miller passes away

[BleedGopher]

Fun player to watch at Arkansas and in the NBA (with our Wolves and others). Arkansas was a lot of fun to watch in this era.

RIP Big O.

Former Hog basketball player Oliver Miller passed away on Wednesday at the age of 54.

Eddie Johnson, Phoenix Suns color analyst and former NBA player, posted the news on X this afternoon.

Miller played for the Hogs from 1989 to 1992 under Hall of Fame coach Nolan Richardson.

In his junior season with the Razorbacks, “Big O” became the first player in program history to earn more than 100 blocks and 100 assists in a single season.

I ran into Dugan Fife (former Michigan guard) at a business function last Fall. He mentioned that Robert Traylor passed away last year as well. Ollie and Rob were big fellows who had issues managing weight. Having challenges with Cardiac issues, I know weight management is a big issue. Really sad -- they were too young.
