PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas – Western Kentucky tips off one of the nation’s best – if not the best – preseason tournaments by facing one of the nation’s best – if not the best – teams.
WKU will get the 2017 Battle 4 Atlantis started Wednesday when it faces No. 5 Villanova at 1:30 p.m. CST. ESPN2 will carry the broadcast live from Imperial Arena.
The Toppers (2-1) have won two straight games after a season-opening loss to Missouri State, defeating Division II foe Kentucky Wesleyan and Nicholls over the last week. The Bahamas tournament will be a significant step up in competition from that.
