Gordon Mulava, who played on the 1969 NIT Champion Temple Men's Basketball team, passed away October 28 at the age of 74.
"The Temple basketball family lost a great man with the passing of Gordon Mulava," said former Owls' basketball coach Fran Dunphy. "He was a great competitor and the glue to that Temple NIT Championship team. Just a special man who was loved by all. He will be truly missed."
Mr. Mulava, who was high school basketball standout at Woodrow Wilson High, played three seasons at Temple University (1966-67 through 1968-69) where he not only helped the Owls win the 1969 NIT title, but also 61 games during his career.
