PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — R.J. Cole scored 26 points, helping No. 22 UConn beat VCU 70-63 in overtime for third place at the Battle 4 Atlantis. Isaiah Whaley finished with 16 points for the Huskies, including the go-ahead 3-pointer in OT. He also had a punctuating three-point play with 4.5 seconds left. Whaley had missed Thursday’s tournament game after briefly fainting following Wednesday’s double-overtime win against No. 19 Auburn. Jayden Nunn scored 21 points for VCU. The Huskies shot 33%. The Rams shot 36%.
