Bahamas bound: Colorado State men's basketball team part of 2025 Battle 4 Atlantis field

[ASFN Admin]

Thanksgiving in the Bahamas is on the schedule for the Colorado State men's basketball team.

The Rams are part of the 2025 Battle 4 Atlantis field for next season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported Wednesday. New CSU coach Ali Farokhmanesh all-but-confirmed the news with a quote of Rothstein's X post of the news saying, "See you in the Bahamas."

CSU is expected to be one of four teams in the field that qualified for the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The other three are Saint Mary's, Vanderbilt and VCU. Rothstein reports that the other teams in the Battle 4 Atlantis field are Virginia Tech, South Florida, Western Kentucky and Wichita State.

Auburn was originally expected to be part of the field but will compete in another tournament, Rothstein reported. Ohio State was also once expected to be in the Battle 4 Atlantis but won't be now, per Rothstein.

The tournament takes place Thanksgiving week, but dates and matchups for the games will be announced at a later date.
