After upsets earlier this week, both Texas and Purdue needed wins, and got 'em.

Purdue took out South Carolina despite trailing early. New Boiler Cherelle George, a junior-college transfer, had ten steals.

After themselves beating South Carolina on Thursday, the Texas Longhorns overcame George Washington to win their division of the Bahamas tournament. Tied with five minutes left, the game came down to free throws: Texas made 11 of 12 late ones, the Colonials just one of four.
