Ohio State will be searching for a different early-season tournament opportunity than initially planned.
The Buckeyes withdrew from the 2025 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas, which is set to be held in late November, an Ohio State spokesperson confirmed to Eleven Warriors.
OSU will look for other tournaments to help boost its early-season résumé, funding and NIL efforts.
The current teams set to face off in the Battle 4 Atlantis are Virginia Tech, Saint Mary's, Vanderbilt, South Florida, VCU, Colorado State, Western Kentucky and Wichita State.
Ohio State's full 2025-26 schedule, including any tournaments that would replace its participation in the Battle 4 Atlantis, is still to be released.
