If you are a fan of college basketball, this week is a very exciting time. In addition to competitive games across the country, Battle 4 Atlantis is back with a host of outstanding teams vying to leave The Bahamas as tournament champions.

This year, Battle 4 Atlantis will once again feature eight teams and the games will be played over three days. This year's teams include a "who's who" of top college basketball programs, including North Carolina, Villanova, and Memphis. Joining those teams will be Michigan, Texas Tech, Northern Iowa, Arkansas, and Stanford.

While there are plenty of talented teams in this year's tournament, most college basketball fans will be keeping an eye on the North Carolina Tar Heels, who have not competed in the Battle 4 Atlantis since the 2019-2020 season. As of this writing, North Carolina is ranked 20th in the nation, and some Tar Heels fans say the team is better than its ranking suggests and should run away with the Battle 4 Atlantis.

But Villanova may have something to say about that. The Wildcats are looking to bounce back from a tough loss against Pennsylvania and climb back up the college basketball rankings. And as the 21st-ranked team in the nation, they are closing in on North Carolina. But let's face it - this is college basketball. What we know about this sport is that upsets can and often do happen.

So it's time to get ready for the exciting basketball coming from the Bahamas this week. And here's how you can stream Battle 4 Atlantis as the game tips off on November 22.
