Buffalo Bisons played in the professional Midwestern Basketball Conference (MBC) in the 1935-36 season. The next year the league changed its name to the National Basketball League (NBL) and the Bisons played in that league in 1936-37. The Bisons returned to the NBL for the 1946-47 season, but moved to Illinois before the season was out and became the Tri-City Blackhawks. The Blackhawks eventually joined the National Basketball Association (NBA) and today they are known as the Atlanta Hawks.
The Bison ended the 1935-36 season with a 3-6 record, fourth place in the Eastern Division (out of six teams) and out of playoff contention.
The Bison were coached by former Buffalo Germans star Allie Heerdt.
