New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The 10th-ranked Texas Longhorns and Iowa Hawkeyes continue play in the 2K Classic, as the two teams square off at famed Madison Square Garden on Thursday night in semifinal action. The other game in the event will pit 23rd-ranked Syracuse against California. The two winning teams will meet for the event title on Friday night. There is a great deal of optimism surrounding Rick Barnes Longhorns this season. Texas has not disappointed in the early going, opening the season last weekend with blowout wins over North Dakota State (85-50) and Alcorn State (85-53). This marks Texas fifth appearance in this event, with a 9-4 overall record. Fran McCaffreys Hawkeyes are also off to a fast start, winning their first two games in equally impressive fashion. Iowa opened with a 90-56 thrashing of Hampton and followed up with an 87-56 rout of North Dakota State. These two teams have played four times before with the series all knotted up at 2-2. With two easy wins thus far, it isnt surprising that Texas numbers are impressive. The team boasts of a gaudy +33.5 scoring margin, shooting .535 from the floor, while holding the first two opponents to a collective .286 shooting. Point guard Isaiah Taylor has started strong, netting a team-best 15.0 ppg, while dishing out a total of seven assists in the first two games. Myles Turner and Jonathan Holmes round things out with 12.5 and 12.0 ppg, respectively. In the 32-point win over Alcorn State last time out, Texas shot an impressive .571 from the floor overall, fueled by a scorching 12-of-25 from behind the arc (.480). It was a complete team effort as 12 players landed in the scoring column for Texas, led by Taylors 12 points. Demarcus Holland and Turner added 10 points each to the cause. Iowas fast start is also attributed to strong play at both ends of the court, with the team enjoying a +32.5 scoring margin. The Hawkeyes are an efficient .504 from the floor, including .439 from behind the arc. Iowa has also dominated on the glass to the tune of a +14.0 rebounding margin. Four players are averaging double figures after two games, led by Aaron Whites 14.5 ppg. Gabriel Olaseni comes off the bench, but he is averaging a near double-double with 13.0 points and 9.0 rebounds thus far. Jarrod Uthoff and Anthony Clemmons chime in with 12.5 and 11.5 ppg, respectively. Just like Texas, Iowa made light work of North Dakota State on Monday, shooting .536 from the floor overall, while outscoring NDSU 32-12 in the paint. Olaseni was a big reason for the disparity, as he led the team with a double-double consisting of 14 points and 11 rebounds. Adam Woodbury also had a double-double (10 pts, 11 rebs). Uthoff added 12 points, while Clemmons (11 pts) and White (10 pts) were also productive.

Mike Gesicki Jersey .C. -- After turning Tobacco Road into "Raleigh Top," Tennessee is headed to the round of 16.GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Abbotsford Heat hope a last-minute goal keeps their season alive for more than one extra game. Marcus Granlund scored a power-play goal with a minute left in regulation as the Heat staved off elimination with a 2-1 win in Game 3 against the Grand Rapids Griffins. Corey Locke also scored for the Heat, who still trail 2-1 in the best-of-five series with Game 4 scheduled for Friday in Grand Rapids. "We came here and got the first one, and we need two more," Granlund said. "Were taking it day by day, and game by game, and we have to keep going. We have to keep pushing and win the next game, too." After dropping the first two games on their home ice, the Heat returned the favour by rallying in the final period for a pair of goals to erase a 1-0 deficit and earn the critical road win. "Our backs are against the wall, we realize that," Abbotsford coach Troy Ward said. "We came on the trip knowing we would play 20 minutes at a time, and the good thing about our team is were never too high or too low. "We felt good about Game 1, and obviously we stubbed our toe in Game 2, but we felt pretty good about ourselves coming in tonight." Granlunds game winner came after Grand Rapids Jeff Hoggan was whistled for high sticking with 1:20 left to put the Heat on the power play. Former Griffin Chad Billins delivered the pass to Granlund, who knocked it past Grandd Rapids goalie Petr Mrazek.dddddddddddd "It was a great pass by Billins, and I just shot it and it was a goal," Granlund said. "It was very exciting." Abbotsford went 1 for 9 on the power play in Games 1 and 2, and was 0 for 3 in Game 3 before the final goal. "Our power play has struggled so far in the series, so that was the bright eyed part of the game," Ward said. "It was a good play by Granlund, and hes been probably our catalyst all year." Grand Rapids, the defending Calder Cup champions, grabbed an early 1-0 lead on a power-play goal with 2:33 remaining in the first period when Tomas Jurco scored on a wrist shot off a pass from Riley Sheahan. Heat goalie Joni Ortio helped keep it a one-goal game with 19 stops through the first two periods and the Heat finally broke through less than six minutes into the third. Locke ripped a shot past Mrazek to tie the game before Granlunds goal at 18:58. "I thought as the game wore on, we skated better," Ward said. "I thought we had a couple really good pushes in the second there and I thought that made a difference with our confidence coming out in the third. We just picked it up after that. "This game had a lot of the same characteristics as Game 1. We got fortunate bounces at the right time and Ortio played a good game again." Ortio stopped 34 shots, while Mrazek finished with 23 saves.
