It's been a rough eight months for Iowa basketball legends. Roy Marble, Sr., Iowa's all-time leading scorer, passed away in September after a battle with brain cancer. John Johnson, a former All-American who still holds the record for the two highest-scoring games in Iowa history (49 against Northwestern in 1970, 46 against UW-Milwaukee in 1968), died in January of this year. And now comes news that Murray Wier, an All-American and one of Iowa's best-ever scorers, passed away earlier today.
A sad day as we learn of the passing of one of the all-time greats, Murray Wier.
