Utah Snowbears News Release
ABA basketball returned with a bang to Utah as Ike Austin's Snowbears outmanned, outplayed and outlasted the visiting Visalia Dawgs in the season opener in Salt Lake City in front of 1046 loud supportive fans. Clay Tucker led the Snowbears with 19 points, while Harold Arceneaux fired in 18 and Jared Ramirez hit 5 three pointers and finished with 17 points. Shannon Swillis lead the undermanned Dawgs with 25 points and 5 rebounds, while Chris Jefferies added 24 points. The Visalia team only dressed seven players, but only had two assists the entire game.
