History
The basketball club was founded in 1964 and was called Loimaan Korikonkarit. Until the mid-2000s, the club was in the third Finnish division. The club management tried to develop the team, and in 2008, “Loimaan Korikonkarit” began climbing to the Finnish basketball elite division, making it into the second league. In 2011, the team entered the top division of the Finnish championship , and in the offseason the club found a new sponsor - the Danish air conditioning company Nilan. Then the team began to be called "Nilan Baysons."
In the very first season, the club became the champion of Finland, and in the 2012/2013 season the team again became the best in the country.
In the 2013/2014 season, the Bizons made its international debut in the Eurocup . The debut in the European tournament was not successful - the Bizons dropped out of the tournament after the first stage. In the championship of Finland the club finished in third place.
On May 31, 2016, the Bizons announced that due to financial problems they would not participate in the Finnish Premier League and would join the second division.
