The first round matchups for the Battle 4 Atlantis pre-season tournament have been set and NC State will face Arizona out of the gate. That game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 22. It’s a good thing we like a challenge!
Here is the bracket for the tourney:
Arizona is one of the event headliners, along with Villanova and Purdue. It’s a strong field top to bottom, so hey, might as well start with Arizona, I suppose. The winner of that contest will advance to face the winner of SMU/Northern Iowa and the loser will shift to the loser’s side of the bracket and play the SMU/UNI loser.
