Biloxi, MS. The ABA Mississippi Blues have announced that they are moving to the Gulf Coast this season and will begin play in December in Biloxi, Mississippi. "This has been our goal since we began," stated team owner Daniel Price. "And we are very excited about the move. The reception we've received from the community has been tremendous and top quality professional basketball is long overdue here. Biloxi is truly one of the great cities of the south."

"We are in a very strong division with teams like the Atlanta Vision, Georgia Prowl, Bahama All Pro Show, Georgia Life, College Park Spyders and others," added Price.
