Former Bearcat forward Myron Hughes, who played in the early 1980s, posted this on the University of Cincinnati Basketball Alumni Facebook page:
It's with great sadness that I share with you that Hall of Famer and true UC Legend, George Wilson, passed today. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit with him and his daughter at the hospital an hour before he was called home.
UC released a statement from current coach Wes Miller:
"I am saddened to hear the news of George Wilson's passing,"head coach Miller said.
