KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Kelsey Griffin scored 16 of her 24 points in the first nine minutes of the second half to help No. 3 Nebraska overpower Kansas State 63-46 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament Friday at Municipal Auditorium.
The Big 12 player of the year scored in the low post, off the dribble and off the offensive glass to send the Huskers (30-0) into today's semifinal against 11th-ranked Texas A&M, and may have locked up a No. 1 seed for Nebraska in the NCAA Tournament.
The ninth-seeded Wildcats (14-18) gave the Huskers all they could handle early. Nebraska led 27-26 at the half after shooting 33 percent and missing all 12 of its three-pointers.
Kansas State suited up seven players. Kelsey Hill, Shalin Spani and Alina Voronenko sat out with injuries, and senior Kari Kincaid of Andover Central limped off the court in the second half.
Jalana Childs and Kincaid led K-State with 10 points apiece.
K-State shot 42 percent the first 20 minutes but just 27 percent the second 20.
