Big Game Scheduled

January 24, 2005 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Arkansas RimRockers News Release


Little Rock, AR. (Monday, January 24, 2005)- The Arkansas RimRockers (18-4) announced today they will take on the undefeated Utah Snowbears (22-0) on February 12 at Alltel Arena. Both teams were able to schedule one home game and one away game for the series due to open dates on their schedules. The match-up, which pairs two of the ABA's premier franchises, is a game that has been much anticipated and will allow the powerhouse Snowbears from the western division to cross over and experience first-hand the fierce competitive spirit the RimRockers play with in the Central Division.

"I look forward to the chance to play Utah," Head Coach Joe Harge said. "I have heard great things about their franchise and have much respect for their team's tremendous athletic ability. I believe this will be a test for our team and hope to use it as a benchmark for the upcoming championship game."

Also scheduled at Alltel on Feb. 12 is Shawn Michaels of the WWE, "The Heartbreak Kid". Michaels will sign autographs from 6-7 p.m. and also serve as the RimRockers' 11th man.

The Arkansas RimRockers, owned by Larry Crain Sr., play all home games at Alltel Arena. Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased through the Alltel Arena Box Office by calling 501-975-7575. The American Basketball Association season runs from November to March. Playoffs will immediately follow.

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
