We take a look at everything you need to know about Louisville Basketball’s Battle 4 Atlantis tournament during the week of Thanksgiving.

The Louisville basketball team will be taking their three game winning streak to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. The Cards are probably the best team heading to the tournament, but that’s with Michigan State being a close second.

The Spartans have had to play two tough games against Arizona and Kentucky in the first few weeks, therefore they will be ready for whatever challenge comes their way. At the same time, Louisville hasn’t face tough competition, so they need to raise their level of play if they want to come away victorious in this tournament.

As you can see above, the Cardinals will be playing Old Dominion on Thursday at 9:30 on AXS TV. Be sure and check your local listings well in advance so you are prepared. That way you can make plans to go watch it at a sports bar if you don’t have that channel.

However, if Louisville keeps winning, then finding the games on TV won’t be an issue, since they will be playing on ESPN or ESPN2.

Win or lose, the best possible scenario for Louisville is if they get to face Michigan State. At this point in this season, it doesn’t matter if they get beat, they just need to keep competing with quality competition to keep preparing them for ACC play and the NCAA Tournament.
