One of Oliver “Big O” Miller’s Final Messages Reveal His Lasting Legacy on Razorbacks Nation

The guy who put the Big in ‘Big Man,’ Arkansas legend and the most dominant presence of the first Raptors squad, Oliver “Big O” Miller, has passed away. He was 54. The Razorbacks, Raptors, and even former NBA star Eddie A. Johnson announced his passing. After Junior Bridgeman’s loss yesterday, this one hits even harder. The Fort Worth native played for Nolan Richardson’s team in Arkansas and led the Razorbacks to the Final Four in 1990.

Less than two weeks ago, Oliver Miller added a sweet reaction on X: “ Means a lot. Still n tears. #WPS.” The tweet also contained a video in which the Hogs celebrated the 1990 team that finished in the Final Four on a special night. Most of them were back in the Bud Walton Arena, but Big O was not in attendance. Still, the team celebrated him the same way and narrated the cause of his absence.

“The Big O stood out on the court, but even more as a fan favorite with his inextinguishable spirit and giant heart. One of our all time greats is now waging a fight that is far more important than basketball. He continuous courageous battle with cancer in Phoenix, Arizona.” Oliver Miller became a legend at Arkansas while helping lead the Razorbacks to the 1990 Final Four.
