CINCINNATI (AP) — Paul Hogue, a star center on Cincinnati’s back-to-back national championship basketball teams, died Monday. He was 69.

His wife of 43 years, Patti Hogue, said the cause was heart and kidney failure.

Hogue, at 6 feet 9, helped lead the Bearcats to N.C.A.A. championships in 1961 and 1962, both times defeating Ohio State squads led by Jerry Lucas in the title games.

I remember both watching him and writing a story or two with his comments over the years. He was class on and of the court. 69 is too damned young to die. RIP:(

Did Hogue wear glasses on the court, or is my memory totally gone?
