The Evansville Agogans were a professional basketball team who played in Evansville, Indiana from 1950 to 1951 and were a member of the Western Division of the National Professional Basketball League. Games were typically played at the old Evansville Central High School gym, now home to the downtown Evansville YMCA. The Agogans were formerly known as the Denver Refiners and moved to Evansville, Indiana due to the Denver franchise having difficulty in financing the team's long trips to all its eastern and midwestern counterparts. Bill Butterfield, an office supply store manager in Evansville, bought the franchise midway through the season and moved it to Indiana. Butterfield named the new team the Agogans, which meant "those with intense interest and excitement."
