Runner-Up: (18) Purdue vs. (5) Villanova - Thursday 12:30 ET, ESPN2

Perennially one of the more loaded early-season tournaments, the Battle 4 Atlantis once again has a strong field. This year, second-ranked Arizona, 2013 B4A champion and fifth-ranked Villanova, and 18th-ranked Purdue are headlining the tournament in the Bahamas.

If the tournament follows chalk, Purdue will face Villanova in the semifinal Thursday followed by a championship game featuring two top-five schools in Villanova and Arizona on Friday. All three remain undefeated and have won their games in convincing fashion to this point while putting up a ton of points. Purdue is averaging 102 points per game while Arizona and Villanova are scoring 98 and 97 per game respectively.
