Michigan basketball's first-round matchup set for Battle 4 Atlantis

The final piece of Michigan basketball’s nonconference schedule has been revealed with the unveiling of the Battle 4 Atlantis bracket.

The matchups for the early season tournament were announced this week and Michigan will take on Memphis in the opening round on Nov. 22. The game will tip at 5 p.m. on ESPN2 and will mark the first meeting between the programs since 2011.

The last time the Wolverines participated in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, they won the championship under coach Juwan Howard.

Much like the Wolverines, Penny Hardaway’s squad has big holes to fill and a bunch of offensive production to replace on an overhauled roster — namely with All-AAC first-team selection Kendric Davis gone.
