Win or lose, all teams are guaranteed three games in the tournament. Depending on the outcome of the opening-round matchup with Memphis, Ohio State will either play the winner or the loser of Game 1, between West Virginia and Texas A&M.
The other four teams taking part in the event are Creighton, Utah, Dayton and Wichita State.
The event was originally scheduled as the 10th annual Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island in the Bahamas, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was moved to Sioux Falls this year.
Despite the change in venue, seven of the eight participants remain from the originally scheduled event, with Dayton replacing Duke as the only substitute.
