CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The Badgers used defense, rebounding and tenacity to grind-out a 48-38 win at Virginia and hand Bo Ryan his 300th victory as UW's coach.
The 8th ranked Badgers, now 9-0, were led by Josh Gasser's 11 points; the Port Washington native also played tremendous defense on Cavaliers sharpshooter Joe Harris, holding him to just 2 points.
Virginia, coached by former Ryan assistant Tony Bennett, came to Madison and beat the Badgers in last year's Big Ten/ACC Challenge when Gasser was sidelined all season by a severe knee injury.
