ODU's supposed to get two home games as part of Atlantis, right?

vs. Howard on Dec. 22 per their website.

we may get 1 home game from Atlantis, definitely not 2. You can only get 4 games total from an MTE and we'll play 3 in the Bahamas. Theoretically, the VCU game could count as that one depending on the dates.

ODU got two from last year's tournament, right? But then that was a four-team tournament, so that must be it. I could have sworn Atlantis gave two, but then yeah, that'd be five.

It's usually a game before the tournament, though I don't think that's a hard and fast rule.

Last year was 2 at home and 2 in CT. The extra games need to be played within 2 weeks of the main games but can be before or after.

FGCU is playing Baylor as an extra game and Long Beach State is playing someone.

I think the four teams in the U.S. bracket -- FGCU, Long Beach State, two teams to be named later -- play two games at Atlantis opponents, then two games among themselves. I know FGCU is playing someone in addition to Baylor -- LSU maybe? I think Long Beach may be playing Louisville. I could be totally out to lunch on that though.

I wonder if Howard's one of the U.S. teams. They play at VCU on Dec. 27, and it'd make sense to have the same team play ODU and VCU as part of this.

Howard is in the Legends Classic and have to play at Michigan and Marquette + 2 games at IUPUI.

Scratch that, then. Maybe they won't announce it until they unveil the bracket. Could be that VCU is considered the Atlantis game for ODU but they'd still need a home game for VCU.

EDIT: Apparently the B4A bracket will be unveiled at noon today. I presume ODU will have to play Michigan State or Louisville in the first round.

ODU will be playing Louisville in the first round of the battle for atlantis. Plays the winner/loser of Wichita State/LSU. Sets up a possible ODU-VCU championship match.

I wonder if the bracket itself will be released later. I can't imagine they'd have Michigan State and Louisville on the same side and have them potentially meet in the semis and not the final

Boop. Got it wrong. I fixed my original post. We'll face the winner/loser of Wichita State/LSU. This is what happens when you don't post the bracket yourself B4A!!!

We should have a good team, but thats a whale of a tournament. We stand to get a few losses there.

That will be a huge game for us, Louisville is ranked 12th for this upcoming season on the Athlon "A Very Early College Basketball Top 25 for 2016-17" They are expected to be even better than last years team.

12. Louisville (23-8, 12-6 ACC) Key Returners: F Deng Adel, G Donovan Mitchell, G Quentin Snider Departures: F Damion Lee, G Trey Lewis Wild Card: F/C Chinanu Onuaku New Arrivals: G Tony Hicks, G/F V.J. King The draft decision of Onuaku will loom large. If he returns, he could average a double-double. Former Penn guard Hicks will fill the void left by Lewis alongside Snider and Mitchell.

I didn't read the post right. Sorry about that. Skimming instead of reading. Onuaku is not returning.

Good teams = good opportunity. Going 2-1 in that tournament would be golden.

I would like to see one more P5 on the slate, but it's still a nice schedule.

Onuaku is currently on an NBA Summer League roster.

This is a week old but Louisville, Michigan St, VCU, and Wichita St are all on the list and part of Battle4Atlantis. Rhode Island is also on the list.

2-1 would be fantastic. Not going 0-3 will be a tough challenge. On paper we will likely be the weakest team in the tourney.

If we can pull off a win against Louisville...
