The ABA Florida Pit Bulls announced their inaugural season will tip-off on the road on October 30th at the Pittsburgh Xplosion before coming home against the Orange County Buzz and Cedric Ceballos at 7pm.
"Our schedule is competitive and our games will be fast paced and exciting," said Pit Bulls' co-owner and player/coach Tim Hardaway. "We play each of our division rivals twice at home which will give the fans some familiarity with our rivals and lead to a great first season. Plus, all of our games besides Sunday games will start at 7pm - which I believe is the perfect start time for families to come out and enjoy the entire ABA entertainment experience."
The Pit Bulls, who complete in the Blue Division, will play 36 regular season games, including 18 at the BankAtlantic Center. The home-opener was originally scheduled against the Chattanooga Steamers but was altered to feature a star-studded clash of former NBA players Ceballos and Hardaway.
