Louisville Shooters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louisville Shooters was a team from Louisville, Kentucky that competed in the Global Basketball Association during its inaugural 1991-1992 season and three games into its second season.
The Louisville Shooters played their home games in the Louisville Gardens and their team colors were red and yellow.
The Shooters played through the GBL's first season and ended with a record of 35-29 (.547) which put them in second place in the Western Division, 7 games behind the Mid-Michigan Great Lakers. The Shooters advanced to the playoffs but forfeited to the Mid-Michigan Great Lakers in the first round due to financial problems. Louisville's Alfredrick Hughes made the All GBA team.
The Shooters began the 1992-1993 season with three straight losses before disbanding in midseason (the only GBL team to fold during that season). The Shooters never returned to league play.
