The full 2024 Battle 4 Atlantis field has been announced, which includes the Indiana basketball program.
Arizona, Creighton, Davidson, Gonzaga, Louisville, Oklahoma and West Virginia are the other schools in the field in addition to Indiana.
This will be Indiana’s second trip to the Bahamas since Woodson took over. The Hoosiers went to Nassau as part of an international trip ahead of his first season.
Woodson has made it a priority to get Indiana back in the national spotlight and a major part of that is playing a tough national schedule.
That includes non-conference matchups with Kansas, Arizona, Auburn, the Empire Classic (UConn/Texas/Louisville) and others in just the last two years. Indiana has also secured a series matchup with Kentucky starting in 2025.
“I think it’s important to prepare yourself with high-level competition as much as possible as your team gets ready for a 20-game Big Ten schedule,” Woodson said last season. “I think you’ve got to challenge your team as you move forward. As we’re building this, we’ve got to challenge ourselves with big time programs.”
Below is the full release confirming the field.
