ST. THOMAS - Old Dominion University big man Frank Hassell had his best game of the tournament, and the Monarchs' defense extinguished a hot-shooting Tu Holloway en route to a 67-58 victory over Xavier to win the Paradise Jam men's basketball tournament Monday.

It was ODU's second appearance in the tournament championship at the UVI Sports & Fitness Center - ODU fell to Wisconsin in the 2005 Paradise Jam final - and the Monarchs (4-1) were led by Hassell, who finished with 16 points and eight rebounds.

After knocking off Clemson in the second round Sunday, senior guard Ben Finney predicted big things for his team, which competes in the Colonial Athletic Association.

"We feel like we belong up here with all the big teams," said Finney, who scored 8 points against Xavier and was named the tournament MVP. "A lot of teams underestimate us because of the conference we play in. We always have a lot to prove. We're the team to beat, and other teams are going to have find it out the hard way."

The Monarchs opened up a comfortable 33-25 lead and made sure to get Hassell and the rest of the front court involved early in the second half
