The Huskies are headed back to paradise, it appears.<\/p>\n
The UConn mens basketball team will participate in the 2021 Battle 4 Atlantis, one of college basketballs preeminent pre-conference tournaments, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported Thursday.<\/p>\n
Syracuse, Arizona State, Auburn, VCU and Loyola-Chicago are also expected to be included in the field. There is one team yet to be determined, Rothstein wrote.<\/p>\n
Matchups against the longtime rival Orange as well as against coach Bob Hurleys Sun Devils, creating a matchup of brothers with UConns coach Dan Hurley, certainly would appeal to Husky fans.<\/p>\n
It would be the third appearance for the Huskies at the 10-year-old event, which is played annually at Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas around the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n
UConn has a record of 3-3 in its previous two trips to Nassau for the tournament.<\/p>\n
In the 2015-16 season UConn beat Michigan before losing to Syracuse and Gonzaga. In the 2011-12 event it beat UNC Asheville, losing to UCF, then beating Florida State.<\/p>\n
