1949-50 Trenton Tigers / Cohoes Marras (ABL)

1949-50 TRENTON TIGERS / COHOES MARRAS
AMERICAN BASKETBALL LEAGUE (II)
4-16 .200

A playoff-team the prior season, the Tigers got off to a mediocre 4-5 start in 1949 before losing their home court. They would play exclusively on the road for a month before landing a home in Cohoes, New York, where they would play as the Marras. Their fortunes never improved, losing 11 straight games before folding on January 30, 1950. Another long-term ABL franchise evaporates.
