FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas men’s basketball great Oliver Miller will be inducted into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame in August.
Miller was announced Monday as the Razorbacks’ selection for the SWC Hall of Fame. This year’s class includes one member from nine former SWC schools.
The induction ceremony and luncheon are scheduled for Aug. 13 at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, which is on the Baylor University campus in Waco. Miller grew up in nearby Fort Worth.
Miller helped the Razorbacks to a 115-24 record during his career from 1988-92. He was part of conference championship teams all four seasons at Arkansas under Naismith Hall of Fame coach Nolan Richardson.
The Razorbacks won three Southwest Conference titles from 1989-91 and were the 1992 SEC champions in their inaugural season as a league member. Arkansas advanced to the 1990 NCAA Final Four.
Miller, who was nicknamed “Big O,” played the center position alongside guards Lee Mayberry and Todd Day. He was named the 1991 SWC Player of the Year by the league’s coaches.
He is the program’s career record holder in field goal percentage (63.6%) and blocked shots (345). He ranks ninth in career scoring (1,674 points) and third in rebounds (886).
