Virginia beats UNC, will enter NCAA tourney among title favorites

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- There was nothing at stake for Virginia on Saturday in the ACC tournament title game. The Cavaliers had the overall No. 1 seed wrapped up, they had their choice of locations and regions.

But you wouldn't have been able to tell in Virginia's 71-63 win over North Carolina.

It was business as usual for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers had no drop-off from previous games, locking down the Tar Heels' offense for long stretches and making big shots when they needed them. That's Virginia in a nutshell; they do what they do and they don't deviate from what coach Tony Bennett has instilled in them.
