Battle 4 Atlantis 2024: Bracket, teams, schedule for college basketball tournament
Feast Week returns to the Caribbean for one of college basketball's most looked forward and prestigious early-season multi-team events.
And this year's field once again stacked and jam-packed with talent.
For the 13th consecutive season, eight of college basketball's top programs will travel down to Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas for the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis. Headlining the field this year are No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 17 Arizona and No. 18 Indiana.

Gonzaga and Arizona have looked the part of national championship-caliber teams, even though the Wildcats are coming off back-to-back losses to No. 25 Wisconsin and No. 10 Duke. Led by Graham Ike and Khalif Battle, Gonzaga has the No. 1 adjusted offense on KenPom.
Then there are Mike Woodson's Hoosiers, who enter this season with a considerable amount of buzz surrounding their program after revamping themselves through the transfer portal in the offseason. Of the new additions to Indiana's roster perhaps none bigger was landing the No. 1 player in the portal former Arizona forward Oumar Ballo.
Teams like Oklahoma, Louisville, West Virginia, Providence and Davidson head down to The Bahamas looking to pick up an early signature win (or two) for their March Madness resume. After all, Quad 1 wins and a high NET ranking seem to be what separate teams that are on the bubble of making or missing out on the Field of 68 come Selection Sunday in March.
Here's everything you need to know about the 2024 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, including who is in the bracket, game schedule, TV schedule and streaming information and more:

Battle 4 Atlantis 2024 bracket
As alluded to above, the 2024 Battle 4 Atlantis bracket is made up of three of the college basketball's current top 25 teams: No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 17 Arizona and No. 18 Indiana.
One of the more intriguing first-round matchups is the lid-lifter of the Battle 4 Atlantis between Louisville and Indiana, two of college basketball's storied programs. A fun matchup in that game will be Cardinals' guard Reyne Smith going up against Ballo inside the paint.
But one of the bigger storylines that college basketball fans might have their eyes set on is a potential head-to-head coaching matchup between Mark Few and Tommy Llyod if Gonzaga and Arizona meet up. Llyod was Few's right-hand man and top assistant during their time together in Spokane before becoming the head coach at Arizona following Gonzaga's Final Four run in 2021.
