We preview the Battle 4 Atlantis championship game between the Louisville basketball team and the Baylor Bears.

The Louisville basketball team has made their way into the championship game of the Battle 4 Atlantis and will be taking on #20 Baylor. The Cards have won their first five games this season, but nothing so far would be as sweet as beating the Bears Friday afternoon and coming home as the champs.

Baylor is also 5-0 heading into the title game with wins over VCU and #20 Michigan State in the 1st two rounds of the tournament.

Here is all of the TV information that you need to know for Louisville’s game against Baylor on Friday afternoon:

"What: Battle 4 Atlantis championship game Who: #20 Baylor Bears vs. #10 Louisville Cardinals When: Friday at 3:30pm TV: ESPN"

It was an impressive two victories for Louisville, since they weren’t challenged too much before heading to the Bahamas. They have been in two battles over the past few days, but they have been able to overcome some early adversity to win each game.

Baylor presents the toughest test so far for the Cardinals this season. Another poor shooting performance could haunt Louisville, but their defense has kept the other teams shooting just as bad.

If they can continue to stay focused and play hard on the defensive end, then the Cards should be able to come out of this tournament undefeated.

With that being said, let’s take a look at some more important information about the game on Friday.
