Indiana's Bahamas Adventure in the Battle 4 Atlantis

Indiana's Opening Game

The Hoosiers kick off the event against Louisville on Wednesday at noon ET on ESPN. This marks a crucial moment as two Indiana players, Trey Galloway and Anthony Leal, have already played and practiced in the same arena during the program's foreign tour in August 2021. It adds a touch of familiarity to the occasion.

Louisville, on the other hand, has a rich history in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Guard Chucky Hepburn and forward Noah Waterman both participated two years ago. Hepburn led Wisconsin to a 2-1 record and a third-place finish, while BYU and Waterman finished 1-2 in the tournament. This experience gives Louisville an edge as they face Indiana.

Louisville's Battle 4 Atlantis Record

It's the third trip to the Battle 4 Atlantis for the Louisville program. The two previous trips came when Rick Pitino was the coach in 2012 and 2016, and both resulted in a trip to the championship game. The Cardinals have an impressive 6-2 record in the event, showing their prowess in this tournament.

The 13th edition of the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis field is filled with strong teams. No. 24 Arizona, Davidson, No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 14 Indiana, Louisville, Oklahoma, Providence, and West Virginia are all set to compete. Each team brings its own style and talent to the court.
