Three divisions in 2007-2008

[USBasket_EricE]

Here's what it will look like:

West Division
Anaheim Arsenal
Bakersfield Jam
Los Angeles D-Fenders
Idaho Stampede
Utah Flash

Central Division
Dakota Wizards
Fort Wayne Mad Ants
Iowa Energy
Sioux Falls Skyforce

Southwest Division
Albuquerque Thunderbirds
Austin Toros
Colorado 14ers
Tulsa 66ers
Rio Grande Valley Vipers

I don't know about the teams that aren't in the Central Division, but according to the Bismarck Tribune, the teams in this division will play each other 10 times each and will play the teams in the other divisions two times each. Any thoughts on this new setup?

Basic logic: 50 games.

For the divisions with 5 teams, it's simple: home and home out of division (18 total), therefore 8 games against each team in division (32 total). Relatively tidy.

There's sort of an Idaho-Colorado rivalry (for what few fans Idaho has left)... too bad the geography succumbed to numbers (at least by Utah's standpoint, since Boise to LA is shorter than Boise to Denver).

I appreciate it that the late '90s-early 2000's CBA cities are grouped together:

Dakota Wizards
Fort Wayne Mad Ants (Fury)
Iowa Energy (DM Dragons)
Sioux Falls Skyforce

The Central Division will be by far the best attendance-wise this season.

Not to nitpick, but....
The Des Moines Dragons were a team in the International Basketball Association (IBA).

Iowa's teams in the CBA were:

Cedar Rapids Silver Bullets (1988-1991), who moved to Washington and became the Tri-City Chinook

Quad City Thunder (1987-2001).

But the Dragons and Wizards were IBA rivals, weren't they?

Either way, the Central Division is going to be the best attendance-wise this year.

Yeah, the Dragons weren't our biggest rivals (that would be the FM Beez), but I believe we had a rivarlry with them. I remember beating them for our first and only IBA championship.
