It didn’t necessarily work out the way anybody expected, but the top two teams in the Battle 4 Atlantis made it to the final. The Virginia Cavaliers topped Dayton in a close fought matchup while the Wisconsin Badgers dominated Oklahoma. This sets up a matchup between two very similar teams and two very similar programs.
Both Virginia and Wisconsin are Pack Line teams under head coaches from the Dick Bennett tree. These are two of the slowest teams in the nation, and two of the best defensive teams in the nation. They are also two of the best teams in the nation, with the Hoos ranking 4th in KenPom’s rankings and Wisconsin ranking 11th.
