SOUTHERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE
26-13 .667, 1st place
The defending champion Rebels. who had blistered all opponents the year before, running away with the SPBL title, were poised to repeat under head coach Lenny Rader. A lot of the personnel changed between seasons, and the Rebs saw a challenge to their supremacy from Birmingham. Eventually, Montgomery would hang on to win the regular season, and upon the cancellation of the playoffs, be crowned the SPBL champions again. The Rebels won the SPBL title in the league's only two seasons of existence.
