Photos from Wisconsin basketball’s 43-42 victory over the Dayton Flyers in the Battle 4 Atlantis:

The Wisconsin Badgers beat the Dayton Flyers 43-42 as underdogs in the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Badgers shut down the Flyers’ offense and made the game a defensive battle. They will move on to face the No. 5-ranked Kansas Jayhawks at 10 a.m. CT on Thanksgiving Day.

The Badgers limited the Flyers to 14 points in the first half and only a 30.2 field goal percentage on the day. Wisconsin center Steven Crowl had a good defensive performance with nine points, seven rebounds and four assists. Their leading scorer was true freshman Connor Essegian who racked up 13 points while going 2-4 from deep.

The Jayhawks will be a tough test for the Badgers on Thursday, and a victory would propel them to the final of the Battle 4 Atlantis and likely into the next USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

How to watch the Wisconsin Badgers against the Dayton Flyers in the Battle 4 Atlantis:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Dayton Flyers on Wednesday afternoon in the Battle 4 Atlantis, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers were victorious in their in-season tournament last year, winning the 2021 Maui Invitational, but will face a tough task against the Flyers in the 2022 Battle 4 Atlantis. Especially, since Wisconsin struggled to score in their victory over the Green Bay Phoenix.

They will play their first matchup against a very athletic Dayton team that has high expectations to start the season. If the Badgers can get past the Flyers in the opening round, they will face the winner of the game between No. 5-ranked Kansas and North Carolina State on Thanksgiving Day.

The other four teams featured in the 2022 Battle 4 Atlantis are Butler, Brigham Young(BYU), Tennessee and USC.

The Badgers’ opening day matchup was recently announced against the Dayton Flyers on Nov. 23 at 1:30 p.m. CST. The game will be televised on either ESPN or ESPN 2. This will be Wisconsin’s third appearance in the tournament, which they last won in 2014 with legend Frank Kaminsky taking home the tournament’s MVP award.

Hopefully, this young Wisconsin team can use the tournament to develop chemistry and find their identity ahead of the start of the Big Ten regular season.
