Iowa will wear patch in remembrance of Roy Marble
The Iowa men's basketball team will honor its all-time leading scorer this season with a patch on its uniforms.
Roy Marble died in September at the age of 48 after a battle with cancer, and the Hawkeyes will don "RM23" patches featuring his initials and number in his memory.
Marble scored 2,116 points from 1985 through 1989 and the Hawkeyes competed in the NCAA tournament in all four of his seasons.

Marble's jersey is not retired, but he was given a framed No. 23 uniform at Iowa's 2015 regular-season finale.
Iowa has said Marble will be a part of the future wall of honor at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
