BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU men’s basketball preseason tournament journey for 2016-17 is now known, as ESPN announced Friday that the Tigers would be part of the eight-team field for the 2016 Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
LSU will be joined in the event, scheduled for Thanksgiving week, with Michigan State, Louisville, Wichita State, VCU, Baylor, St. John’s and Old Dominion.
