PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Fourth-ranked Virginia got another test like coach Tony Bennett wanted, and fittingly it came from a team with a style that looked awfully familiar.
Perhaps that's why the Cavaliers handled everything that came their way -- from fighting through their off-target shooting to tussling with a preseason All-American -- well enough to win the Battle 4 Atlantis championship.
Virginia beat No. 25 Wisconsin 53-46 on Friday to claim the tournament title in a game that featured tough defense and plenty of clock-melting stretches that reduced the number of possessions, leading to a grind-it-out fight to the final horn.
