Kentucky Bisons

[2] Although the management office for the Bisons was based in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the Bisons actually played their home games at the Owensboro Sportscenter, 60 miles north of Bowling Green.On December 14, 2010, the Bisons stated they would be suspending operations due to lack of support from the city of Owensboro, KY. With a 19–3 regular-season record, they qualified for the ABA's Elite Eight Championship tournament at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium (home to Southeast division rival the Nashville Broncs).After defeating Beijing Aoshen Olympian 106–104 in the first round, the Bisons would pull off an upset win over the top-seeded Southeast Texas Mustangs 107–89 to advance to the ABA title game.Finally, with their 127–120 win over the Maywood Buzz, the Bisons wrapped up the ABA title in their first year of existence.The reason stated was the lack of support from the City of Owensboro and their businesses and fans.
