History

In 2007, the team was established as Elite Basketball Akademi Aarhus (EBAA). It was founded by Bakken Bears as an affiliate team to provide a link between the talent academy and the professional club.

In the 2018–19 season, EBAA would play in the Basketligaen, the highest tier of Danish basketball. [1] This would make the team the second team from Aarhus in the league, alongside the Bakken Bears.
