During the second half of the 2014 Battle 4 Atlantis championship game between No. 2 Wisconsin and Oklahoma, broadcasters Dan Shulman and Jay Bilas revealed the 2015 Battle 4 Atlantis field.

Syracuse, UConn, Michigan, Texas, Gonzaga, Washington, Texas A&M and Charlotte will be the eight teams in yet another star-studded event.

The 2015 Battle 4 Atlantis field provides several opportunities to revive rivalries that became casualties of conference realignment. Syracuse and UConn have not played since the 2012-2013 season and while Syracuse has lined up games against former Big East foes Villanova and St. John’s, nothing has been set between the Orange and Huskies. That is the same situation for Texas and Texas A&M, two schools that have not met on the hardwood since the Aggies left the Big 12 Conference for the SEC.

After a decade-long break, Gonzaga and Washington agreed to renew its rivalry with a four-year, home-and-home series, beginning in 2016, but next year’s event can give us a preview of those matchups.

Once again, it will be hard to find a more competitive field than this one in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
