The University of Iowa men s basketball program has gotten a lot of attention the past two seasons. One, they re really good. The Hawkeyes are currently a top five team heading into post-season play. Two, they have Luka Garza. Garza will likely be voted the National Player of the Year and recently broke Iowa s all-time scoring record. He learned that his number 55 will be retired when he completes his Iowa career. I m fine with all of this, by the way. Garza has earned everything through hard work. But what about the man whose record he broke?
Roy Marble s number 23 has not been retired by the University of Iowa. The man who held the Iowa scoring record for 33 years does not have his name and number in the rafters of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Now I understand you can t retire the number of every great player who comes and goes through your program, but Marble seems like an omission to me. Here are the retired numbers in Iowa basketball history, soon to be joined by #55 Luka Garza.
