Michigan basketball is headed to the Bahamas for Thanksgiving.
The Wolverines will play three games in three days in the 'Battle 4 Atlantis' tournament, beginning Wednesday against Iowa State (noon, ESPN). If U-M wins that game, it'll face the winner of North Carolina and Alabama. The third game would be against Gonzaga, Southern Miss, Seton Hall or Oregon.
For Michigan, the tournament is a barometer for just how good the team is right now, four games into Juwan Howard's tenure as head coach.
