What better way to enjoy college basketball than playing it in The Bahamas? UConn, UMass and Harvard will all take part in the inaugural Battle 4 Atlantis, an eight-team preseason tournament played on Paradise Island that tips off on Thanksgiving Day.

UMass (4-0) is the first local team to tip off, as the Minutemen take on the Florida St. Seminoles (4-0) at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Massachusetts is coming off an 82-46 win over the Boston College Eagles on Monday night. Chaz Williams, who is averaging 17.3 points per game, led the Minutemen with 16 points in the Commonwealth Cup clinching win.
