Kelsey Griffin scored 16 of her 24 points in the first nine minutes of the second half to help unbeaten and third-ranked Nebraska overpower Kansas State 63-46 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament Friday.

The ninth-seeded Wildcats (14-18) gave the Cornhuskers (30-0)
all they could handle for a half from before Griffin started to
take over.

Cory Montgomery scored 13 points and Dominique Kelley added 11
for Nebraska, which plays either Texas or Texas A&M in a Saturday
semifinal.

Jalana Childs and Kari Kincaid led K-State with 10 points
apiece.
